  D            G5        D           A
D                    G5               D
There was a time the fire was burning bright,
D                  G5             D   
And everything was shining in the light,
D            Bm       F#m    Bm            F#m 
But when the heart is cold, together we're alone,
F#m          Em         D
Thinking of reasons to stay away;
D                     G5              D
There was a time that love was in our bed,
D            G5            D
Eternity in every word we said,
D          Bm        F#m        Bm          F#m
But when desire has gone, it's hard to carry on,
F#m               Em                             A
Going through the motions, when there's nothing there;
Gmaj                             A
You have got my heart, and all I want from you,
Gmaj                             A
Is just a kiss before we say goodbye;
A          D            Bm             Em             D   A
And let me keep my memories of all the times we were amazing,
A          D            Bm      Em         A       D
And I will keep in memories the best that love can be;
D                   G5             D
There was a time we had so much to say,
D                  G5          D
Together at the Ending of the day,
D            Bm    F#m      Bm                F#m
But when the only words are all the ones that hurt,
F#m     Em                 A
Try to remember the way we were;
Gmaj                             A  
Take the past and hold it like a photograph,
Gmaj                             A
'Cos it's the only way to say goodbye;
A           D              Bm               Em             D  A
And we will keep these memories of all the times we were amazing,
A           D              Bm     Em        A       Bm
And we will keep in memories the best that love can be,
    Em         A       D
The best that love can be;
D   G5  D
D       G5  D
We were amazing.
