A                 A7      D                 Bm
Of all the people in this world, why you and I
E                Bm      E                                A
With lovers here and everywhere who don't care enough to try
    D6       A       A7                 D                  B7
Why couldn't all the hurt we're feeling now have passed us by
         E                                  A
Couldn't love have picked a better place to die?

And of all the hearts in all the world, why yours and mine
With so many places love could die, and so much easier to find
Oh, but it's in our hearts, it's in our bed, and it's even in your eyes
Couldn't love have picked a better place to die?

E                                                  A
Somewhere out there there's lovers who want to be free
             B                                    Bm               E
Why couldn't love have died with them instead of here with you and me
             D6       A        A7                   D                 B7 
Oh, but it's dead and gone and all these tears won't bring it back to life
         E                                                 A
Couldn't love have picked a better place to die?
