And af ter all’s

Were you the one?

Let’s just for (Bb)get, leave it be (F)hind and car ry on.

If you should find

and (Eb)speak to me,

I’d nev er keep

you from your (Bb)fi nal des ti (F)ny, so car ry on.

If you should find

In to the (Eb)qui et I am bound.

In to the qui

And now that (Bb)all’s been said and done,

Were you the one?

Let’s just for (Bb)get, leave it be (F)hind and car ry on.

Let’s just for get, leave it be (F)hind and car ry on.
