G                               D
in the days before you were young 
                                 Em
we used to sit in the morning sun 
                                D
we used to turn the radio on 
             G
what happened? 
we'd see our lies in the eyes of fate 
and take our cradles to the grave 
but even then we're never saved 
from danger 

C                            Em
and if you ever leave me come 
                       D
i will be there waiting 
                          D
waiting for you know i will 
                      D
i love you for ever 
i'll never say never 

G – D – Em – D 
but i've only got two hands 
and i'll never learn to dance 
i'll never get a second chance 
whatever 
i'll take the breath away from your sighs 
and wipe the tears away from your eyes 
and hope the fire never dies 
inside you 

C – E – D 
and if you ever leave me come 
i will be there waiting 
waiting for you know i will 
i love you 
i love you 
i love you... 

in the days before you were young 
we used to sit in the morning sun 
we used to turn the radio on 
what happened?
