  			Intro: Em   D   Am   Em (2x) 

Em                      D 
We live and die like all the rest 
       Am                          Em 
Every summer has its sunset every year 
Em                          D 
Love and hope put to the test 
          Am                             Em 
Every grain of comfort holds the seed of fear 

 Am          Em 
And I loved you long ago 
D/F#  G            D 
  And I love you still 
       Am 
But the roads that we have travelled 
       Em 
Took us far apart 
G 
Scattered to the four winds 
D                  Bm 
Some day we will find the time to heal 

(Em   D   Am   Em) (2x) 


       Em        D     Am   Em 
And I loved you long ago 

Solo: Em   D   Am   Em 
(Em   D   Am   Em) (2x) 

Am             Em 
And the stars that bear my name 
D/F#  G                      D 
  Are the wounds that never heal 
        Am 
But the road that we have travelled 
      Em 
Took us far apart 
G                 D     Bm 
And I love you still 

Em       D         Am    Em 
  And I loved you long ago
