Intro: G  C-Dm7  G    C-Dm7  G    C-F    Em 

                            F                       Em 
We're all a mystery in this world in which we live 
                                    F                       
And there's no guarantee that we'll get back what we give 
   G                C 
We take a chance on love 
  F                   C 
A dream that lasts forever 
      G              C 
We're only flesh and blood 
Dm7 
Throwing coins in a wishing well 



G         C    Dm7       G              C 
Only time will tell if a love is true 
G         C    Dm7         G               
Only time will tell what a heart is gonna do 
          C    Dm7            G                         C 
Only time will tell who's the dreamer, who's the fool 
G         C    Dm7     Em 
Only time will tell 


                                 F                     Em 
We tie the ties that bind with a simple act of faith 
                            F                       
No matter how we try, we're in the hands of fate 
   G                C 
We take the gift of life 
    F               C 
And give it to each other 
   G                C 
We promise, you and I 
  Dm7 
A promise that we'll try to keep 


 
G         C    Dm7       G              C 
Only time will tell if a love is true 
G         C    Dm7         G               
Only time will tell what a heart is gonna do 
          C    Dm7            G                         C 
Only time will tell who's the dreamer, who's the fool 
G         C    Dm7  
Only time will tell
