A                 A7      D                 Bm 
Of all the people in this world, why you and I 
E                Bm      E                                A 
With lovers here and everywhere we don't care enough to try 
    D6       A       A7                 D                  B7 
Why couldn't all the hurt we're feeling now have passed us by 
         E                                  A 
Couldn't love have picked a better place to die? 

And of all the hearts in all the world, why yours and mine 
There's so many places love could die, we must leave the earth for a time 
Oh, but it's in our hearts and it's in our bed and it's even in your eyes 
Couldn't love have picked a better place to die? 

E                                                  A 
Somewhere out there there's lovers who want to be free 
             B                                    Bm               E 
Why couldn't love have died with them instead of here with you and me 
             D6       A        A7                   D                 B7  
Oh, but it's dead and gone and all these tears won't bring it back to life 
         E                                                 A 
Couldn't love have picked a better place to die?
