G  Em  Am  D7

[Verse 1]
          Am                          D7
Did you know there were times in my life
                         G        Em
When I thought I was close to you
       Am                   D7
Growing up with a boy by my side
                  G        G7
As a partner in crime
       C             D7
What a time, and we both didn’t know that one
Bm                     Em
Day we’d be saying goodbye
        Am          D#  D          G  D7
Nothing ever lasts forever, my oh my

[Verse 2]
    Am                        D7
I remember the times that we played
                       G         Em
In the neighbourhood close to you
          Am                       D7
And that promise you gave me that warm
                 G     G7
Summer night in July
          C                   D7
Time goes by, and they’re saying that you have been
Bm                          Em
Growing up much more than I
       Am                D7       G G7
Nothing ever lasts forever my oh my

[Chorus]
       C   D7
Tell me why does this make me
G                Em
Feel so sad and lonely
      C   D7
When I never thought you could
G               E
Be the one and only
        Am
Goodbye past
       D7                             G  D7
Is it true that the good things don’t last

[Verse 3]
        Am                      D7
Now you tell me there’s somebody else
                       G        Em
In your life that is close to you
Am                             D7
And I desperately try to find something
                  G        G7
That I could reply
         C              D7
I could cry but there’s one thing I have to keep
Bm                    Em
Telling myself to get by
       Am                D7        G      G7
Nothing ever lasts forever, my oh my

[Chorus]
       C   D7
Tell me why does this make me
G                Em
Feel so sad and lonely
      C   D7
When I never thought you could
G               E
Be the one and only
        Am
Goodbye past
       D7                             G  D7
Is it true that the good things don’t last

[Verse 4]
         C
As the shadows grow longer
        Cm
My heartache gets stronger
     G
And maybe it’s time to move on
          C
But it’s hard to ignore
       Cm
What has happened before
        D
And I cannot forget all the
D7
Times I was close to you

[Solo]
Am   D7  G  Em
Am    D7  G  G7

[Chorus]
       C   D7
Tell me why does this make me
G                Em
Feel so sad and lonely
      C   D7
When I never thought you could
G               E
Be the one and only
        Am
Goodbye past
       D7                             Am    D7
Is it true that the good things don’t last
Am       D7                               G
Is it true that the good times have passed
