G D G 1. Nothing is so good it lasts eternally, Em D C perfect situations must go wrong. G D C But this has never yet prevented me, Am C D from wanting far too much, for far too long. G D G 2. Looking back, I could have done it differently, Em D C won a few more moments, who can tell? G D C But it took time to understand the man, Am C D now at least I know, I know him well. G C Wasn't it good (wasn't it good), wasn't it fine (wasn't it fine) Cm G D isn't it madness, he can't be mine. G D Em A But in the end, he needs a little bit more than before, G D C G Security (he needs fantasy and freedom). I know him so well ! Am G D G D G 3. No one in your life is with you constantly, Em D C no one is completely on your side. G D C And though I move my world to be with him, Am C D still the gap between us is too wide. G D G 4. Looking back, I could've played it differently, Em D C learned about the man before I fell. G D C But I was ever so much younger then, Am C D now at least I know, I know him well. G C Wasn't it good (oh, so good), wasn't it fine (so fine), Cm G isn't it madness, he can't be mine. Em A Em Didn't I know, how it would go, A D D7 if I knew from the start, why am I falling (apart) + REFRAIN C Em A C Am G it took some time to understand him, ooh, I know him so well.
