Capo 1

[INTRO]
[Em] [G] [D]

[VERSE]
[Em]Just a moment
[G]A fleeting space of[D] time
[Em]I adored you
[C]You were meant to b[D]e mine

[Em]Just a second
[G]You were real and you[D] meant
[Em]That we were chosen
[C]To be the ones you Would[D] Get

[CHORUS]
But it wasn’t meant to l[Em]ast for long
It wasn’t meant t[D]o be
You didn’t get to [Em]stay with us
You couldn’t get to [D]see
The love that we [C]had for you
The way it could hav[Em]e be[D]en
You were [Am]here for just a moment
You were [Em]gone, we couldn’t hold it
L[C]ong enough to [D]touch but
Not long [G]enough

[VERSE]
[Em]No explanation
[G]I’ll never understand[D] why
[Em]You couldn’t stay here
[C]Why you’ve chosen to [D]fly

[Em]Won’t forget you
[G]Even though we didn’t [D]meet
[Em]Because you mattered
[C]You were perfect and [D]complete

[CHORUS]
But it wasn’t meant to l[Em]ast for long
It wasn’t meant t[D]o be
You didn’t get to [Em]stay with us
You couldn’t get to [D]see
The love that we [C]had for you
The way it could hav[Em]e be[D]en
You were [Am]here for just a moment
You were [Em]gone, we couldn’t hold it
L[C]ong enough to [D]touch but
Not long [G]enough

[BRIDGE]
[Am]Grief is hard and deep and real
[Em]No one knows just how you feel
[Am]Hard to say or speak or scream
[C]Always feeling in betwee[D]n

[VERSE]
[Em]Gone in this life
[G]I can’t hold you right n[D]ow
[Em]But I’ll remember
[C]Until we meet again s[D]omehow

[CHORUS]
Because it wasn’t meant to [Em]last for long
It wasn’t meant t[D]o be
You didn’t get to [Em]stay with us
You couldn’t get to [D]see
The love that we [C]had for you
The way it could hav[Em]e be[D]en
You were [Am]here for just a moment
You were [Em]gone, we couldn’t hold it
L[C]ong enough to [D]touch but
Not long [G]enough

You were [Am]here for just a moment
You were [Em]gone, we couldn’t hold it
L[C]ong enough to [D]touch but
Not long [G]enough
