Tom: Em
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
