[Verse 1]
        C                           G              Am7
When he looks into her eyes he sees only the truth

Dm7                   Dm7/E    G       G Gsus4
Telling him he's been living a lie

Dm7               Dm7/E  G         Am7
    over and over like a line in a song

G/B       C            C/E                F
    About all the love he let passing by.

C                          G          Am7
    To her he might be the man of her dreams

   Dm7                    Dm7/E   G      Gsus4
To find what she's been hiding inside

Dm7                   Dm7/E G           Am7
    Broken or battered, it really don't matter

G/B     C              C/E               F    C/F F
    Her heart's like a wave and he's the tide.

              C/G Am7
They're not forever

Dm7         C/E        F
    they're just for today

F                G7sus4
  One part be my lover, one part go away.

[Verse 2]
C                       G            Am7
  He's like a boxer who had to retire

      Dm7            Dm7/E  G   G Gsus4
After winning but killing a man

Dm7              Dm7/E G                 Am7
    All the moves and none of the courage

G/B   C               C/E              F
    Afraid to throw a punch that might land.

C                                G        Am7
    Not too much later she can't meet his glance

Dm7                             G       G Gsus4
    You see her start pulling away

Dm7          C/E       G        Am7
    Over and over like fire and ice

G/B    C      C/E       F     F C/F
One is color,   one is grey.

F                  C/G   Am7
    They're not forever

Dm7      C/E    F
    just for today

Fsus2  F                 G7sus4
          One part be my lover, one part go away.

[Verse 3]
C                               G              Am7
  If you know how why don't you say'em a prayer

              Dm7               Dm7/E    G   G Gsus4
They're gonna need all the help they can get

     Dm7                          G          Am7
They remember too much about what went wrong

G/B  C                     C/E         F   C/E
   It might be they should learn to forget.

C                            G     Am7
   Forget themselves in each other

         Dm7      Dm7/E       G   G Gsus4
And leave what belongs in the past

Dm7                              G          Am7
    Carry their hearts like a newborn child

G/B            C        Dm  C/E     F       Fsus2
    Cause it's only the moment that lasts.

F                 C/G   Am7
    They're not forever

Dm7      C/E    F
    just for today

Fsus2  F                 G7sus4
          One part be my lover, one part go away.
