  			Gm              C9          Bbmaj7 
We touched like watercolour fawns 
Bbmaj7                Eb7 
In landscapes painted by Cezanne 
Eb7                  D7 
Like lovers floating painted by Chegall 
Gm          C9           Bbmaj7 
But you and I were you-I then 
Bbmaj7                Eb7 
We thought the rush would never end 
Eb7                  D7 
We thought the sky, the sky would never fall 
 
Chorus 
Ebmaj7      F                   Bb 
We lived we loved we laughed we cried 
Bb                   Bbm     Eb/Ab 
We'll never die, and now I think of you 
      Ab                   F7/C 
And I change right into Mr Blue 
 
Gm           C9             Bbmaj7 
You say your lover buys you lace 
Bbmaj7           Eb7 
I say he's fine, I like his face 
Eb7                     D7 
I guess you still think love will conquere all 
Gm          C9                Bbmaj7 
I know, but it's not what you think 
Bbmaj7          Eb7 
I only hope it stays in sync 
Eb7          D7 
I only want, I want to wish you well 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
Out: repeat w laidback guitar solo 
Gm    Gsus   Gm    Ebmaj7
