G              D            G        Gmaj7
Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Em          D            C         
Perfect situations must go wrong
G            D           C          Cmaj7
But this has never yet prevented me
Am                  C                 D
From wanting far too much, for far too long

G               D                 G            Gmaj7
Looking back, I could have done it differently
Em            D               C
Won a few more moments, who can tell?
G           D            C        Cmaj7
But it took time to understand the man
Am            C                D
Now at least I know, I know him well

          G
Wasn't it good? (Oh, so good!)
          C
Wasn't he fine? (Oh, so fine!)
         Cm                   G     Cm
Isn't it madness, he can't be mine?
    G              D
But in the end, he needs
             Em           C#dim   G                  D          C      
A little bit more than me, my security (He needs his fantasy and freedom...)
              G           Cm    C    D
I know him so well...

G              D               G        Gmaj7
No one in your life is with you constantly
Em            D            C         
No one is completely on your side
G            D                C       Cmaj7
And though I moved my world to be with him
Am             C                D
Still the gap between us is too wide

G               D                  C                                Cmaj7
Looking back, I could've played it differently (Could've played some other way)
Em               D           C    
Learned about the man before I fell (I was just a little careless maybe)
G         D           C       Cmaj7
But I was ever so much younger then
Am            C                D
Now at least I know, I know him well

          G
Wasn't it good? (Oh, so good!)
          C
Wasn't he fine? (Oh, so fine!)
         Cm                   G     Cm
Isn't it madness, he can't be mine?
         C#dim               Em
Didn't I know, how it would go
     G             A
If I knew from the start?
  D               G
Why am I falling apart?

Wasn't it good?
C
Wasn't he fine?
         Cm                   G     Cm
Isn't it madness, he won't be mine?
    G              D
But in the end, he needs
             Em           C#dim   G
A little bit more than me, my security
               D          C
(He needs his fantasy and freedom)
              C#dim
I know him so well...
        Cm            G        A7   Am7
It took time to understand him
              G
I know him so well...
