[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.
