verse 1: 
C                          F 
  Tell me where and when, how and why. 
Am                               F 
Share with me a tale about your past. 
C                             F 
  Tell me please because I’m wondering. 
Am                               Em                
Have you always been so kind at heart, like you are today.

C                             F 
  Sometimes I dream about us way back when, 
Am                                 F 
spending all those endless days together. 
C                           F 
  But if I’d known you when we were young 
Am                                       Em 
I wouldn’t have the chance to take this part 
F                     C 
  of learning your heart.
