capo 2
Am F C
This too shall pass Im told
G
Well I wish it would
Am F C
And its not the end of the world
G
But I feel like it could be
Am F C
Cause these tears keep streaming down my face
G
Im holding tight to a stubborn heartache
F C G *let ring*
But I know its bound to up and walk away
Baby
Am F
Didnt you say forever
C G
Wont you tell me you remember, you said
Am F C G
We'd only keep on getting better and better and better
Am F
But if this misery is anything
C G
Like the love you're giving me
F C G
Then it's temporary, temporary , temporary
Am F C
You seemed too good to be true
G
And I guess you were
Am F C
Should have known better than to fall for you
G
Oh silly girl
Am F C
Like a firework flashes then fades
G
You have a shining light I still crave
F C G*let] ring*
But the ball is bound to drop now any day
Am F
Didnt you say forever
C G
Won?t you tell me you remember , you said
Am F C G
We?d only keep on getting better and better and better
Am F
But if this misery is anything
C G
Like the love you're giving me
F C G
Then it's temporary, temporary , temporary
F C G
Then it's temporary, temporary , temporary
C F
You were my winter but I know spring will come around soon
G
And I?ll be over you
F C G
F C G
Ooh ooh ooh, Baby
Am F
Didn?t you say forever
C G
Won?t you tell me you remember , you said
Am F C G
We?d only keep on getting better and better and better
Am F
But if this misery is anything
C G
Like the love you're giving me
F C G
Then its temporary, temporary, temporary
Am F C
This too shall pass Im told?..
