Elton John & LeAnn Rimes [Verse 1]
C              F               C          Em
I am here to tell you we can never meet again

Am               F           C              G
Simple really, isn't it, a word or two and then

    C                 F             C              Em
A lifetime of not knowing where or how or why or when

        Am            C              F
You think of me or speak of me or wonder what befell

       Dm                            G
The someone you once loved so long ago so well
[Verse 2]
C              F                 C                Em
Never wonder what I'll feel as living shuffles by

Am               F           C              G
You don't have to ask me and I need not reply

    C                 F       C              Em
Every moment of my life from now until I die

        Am            C              F
I will think or dream of you and fail to understand

      Dm                            G
How a perfect love can be confounded out of hand
[Chorus]
        C
Is it written in the stars

            Am
Are we paying for some crime

            F
Is that all that we are good for

           G
Just a stretch of mortal time

        C
Is this God's experiment

     Am
In which we have no say

     F
In which we're given paradise

      G         C
But only for a day
[Verse 3]
C              F                 C                Em
Nothing can be altered, there is nothing to decide

Am               F                 C              G
No escape, no change of heart, nor anyplace to hide

    C              F             C              Em
You are all I'll ever want, but this I am denied

        Am            C              F
Sometimes in my darkest thoughts, I wish I'd never learned

      Dm                            G
What it is to be in love and have that love returned
[Chorus]
        C
Is it written in the stars

            Am
Are we paying for some crime

            F
Is that all that we are good for

           G
Just a stretch of mortal time

        C
Is this God's experiment

     Am
In which we have no say

     F
In which we're given paradise

      G         C
But only for a day
