Re mem ber when we (Fm)held on in the (G7sus)rain,

the (G)nights we al most (Cm)lost it;

once a (F)gain

a we can take the (Bb)night in (Gm)to

to (Ebmaj7)mor row

liv ing on (Dm7)feel ings.

(Cm7)Touch ing you, I (Eb)feel it all a (Bb)gain.

Did n’t we (D)al most (C)have it (Bm7)all,

when love was (C)all we had worth (G)giv ing?

The ride with (D)you was (C)worth the (Bm7)fall, my (Em7)friend;

lov ing (Dsus)you makes life worth (G)liv ing.

Did n’t we (F)al most (Eb)have it (Dm7)all,

the nights we (Eb)held on till the (Bb)morn ing?

You know you’ll (F)nev er (Eb)love that (Dm7)way a (Gm7)gain;

did n’t we (Eb)al most have it (Bb)all?

The way you used to (Fm)touch me felt so (G7sus)fine;

we (G)kept our hearts to (Cm)geth er;

down the (F)line,

a mo ment in the (Bb)soul can (Gm)last

for (Ebmaj7)ev er,

com fort and (Dm7)keep us.

(Cm7)Help me bring the (Eb)feel ing back a (Bb)gain.

Did n’t we (D)al most (C)have it (Bm7)all,

when love was (C)all we had worth (G)giv ing?

The ride with (D)you was (C)worth the (Bm7)fall, my (Em7)friend;

lov ing (Dsus)you makes life worth (G)liv ing.

Did n’t we (F)al most (Eb)have it (Dm7)all,

when love was (Eb)all we had worth (Bb)giv ing?

The ride with (F)you was (Eb)worth the (Dm7)fall, my (Gm7)friend;

did n’t we (Eb)al most have it (Bb)all?

did n’t we (D)al most (D7)have it (Ebmaj7)all?

Did n’t we have the best of (Dm7)times,

when love was (Bb)young and (Ebmaj7)new?

Could n’t we reach in side and (Dm7)find

the (F)world of (Bb)me and (Ebmaj7)you?

We’ll (Ebmaj7)nev er (Dm7)lost it a gain,

’cause (Cm7)once you know what (Bb)love is, you (Ebmaj7)nev er let it (F7sus)end.

lov ing (Eb)you makes life worth (Bb)liv ing.

Did n’t we (F)al most (Eb)have it (Dm7)all,
