Intro:G
       G                    D           G
1. Nothing is so good it lasts eternally,
      Em             D             C
    perfect situations must go wrong.
     G                       D       C
    But this has never yet prevented me,
             Am                       C      D
    from wanting far too much, for far too long.
       G                      D             G
2. Looking back, I could have done it differently,
       Em                        D      C
    won a few more moments, who can tell?
   G                   D                    C
    But it took time to understand the man,
      Am                      C               D
    now at least I know, I know him well.
                  G                                             C
   Wasn't it good (wasn't it good), wasn't it fine (wasn't it fine)
             Cm               G    - D
   isn't it madness,  he can't be mine.
       G                    D                   Em     A
   But in the end, he needs a little bit more than before,
      G                          D              C           G 
   Security (he needs fantasy and freedom). I know him so well !
     - Am - G - D     G          D          G               
    No one in your life is with you constantly,
     Em                      D     C
    no one is completely on your side.
     G                          D            C
    And though I move my world to be with him,
      Am                       C      D
    still the gap between us is too wide.
       G                      D                  G
4. Looking back, I could've played it differently,
      Em                    D      C
    learned about the man before I fell. 
      G                   D          C
    But I was ever so much younger then,
       Am                     C      D
    now at least I know, I know him well.
                     G                                C
    Wasn't it good (oh, so good),  wasn't it fine (so fine),
                Cm                  G
    isn't it madness, he can't be mine.
                  Em  - A           Em
    Didn't I know,     how it would go, 
                                  A       D             D7
    if I knew from the start, why am I falling (apart) + REFRAIN 
               C                    Em            - A    C     Am     G
    it took some time to understand him,        ooh, I know him so well.
