Lyrics

(Dm7)How could (Am7)we know

that there would n’t be to (E)mor row?

(Dm7)No birds (Am7)will sing,

(Dm7)So far (Am7)to go,

but you’ve al rea dy reached the (E)light.

Your (Dm7)new be (Am7)gin ning,

chap ters are writ ten (E)out for (Fmaj7)you.

Down here they’re hurt in’ from a bro ken heart.

Try na fig ure out how this is real.

’Cause (Fmaj7)they’re nev er (Em7)com ing back (Dm7)down,

they be (Fmaj7)long to the (Em7)stars in (Dm7)the clouds.

(Dm7)Good (Am7)byes, good times, L O V E was (E)all for (Dm7)you.

Mmm.

(E)If you did n’t say (Am7)your good byes, don’t wor ry, love will (E)pow er (Dm7)through.

’Cause (Fmaj7)they’re nev er (Em7)com ing back (Dm7)down,
