tune Transposed: semitones

[C]There is never [F/C]a time to say
[C]Cos it seems to [G/C]me we've lost our way
[C]So we carry [F/C]on, down the road
[C]And we live [G]our lives haunted by
[C]All the things [F/C]we say and do
[C]Keep on missing, when [G/C]I'm alone with you
[F/C]No there's never [C]a time to change
[G]You don't get [C]a chance to re-arrange
[F/C]It's a long long [C]long way to go
[G/C]Just to find out [C]something, we both know
[F/C]Can't you see [C]what's going on
[G]It's so sad, that a [C]love so strong, has gone
[C]All I know [G/C]is what is true
[F/C]All I ask [C]is for you
[G]To just look [C]around and see
[F/C]You live your life [C]locked in a dream
[G/C]Where nothing is real, [C]and not what it seems
[F/C]We can't go [C]on another day
[G]Just being [C]afraid to say
[F/C]It's a long [C]long way to fall
[G/C]When we both thought [C]we had it all
[F/C]Well you know it's [C]the time to say
[G]Cos we're all played [C]out, we've lost our way
[F/C]Oh, I hoped [C]that you would be
[G/C]Oh so understanding
[C]And by now you'd [F/C]see, but oh no
[G]So sad, oh so sad, [C]that's the way that it goes
[F/C]I know I'm gonna [C]tell you right now...
