    Dmaj7                        Em
I remember so long ago wondering
         A7               Dmaj7  Em  A7
Could we stay this way forever
        Dmaj7                         Em
On this carousel turning and laughing
        A7             Dmaj7  Em  A7
We just wanted to be together

Em        A7
And so we did it
Em             A7
We left on our own merry way
Em        A7     D
Into this world alone

       Dmaj7                         Em
In the sand at the sea we lay gazing
       A7                       Dmaj7  Em  A7
At the stars up above in the heavens
          Dmaj7                           Em
There was nothing to keep us from playing
            A7           Dmaj7  Em  A7
We just wanted to be together

Em         A7
Why did we do it
Em             A7
We left on our own merry way
Em        A7     D
Into this world alone

Bm
Little did we know
F#m
Where we were going then
Bm
And when things got cold
F#m                   A G F#m Em
Trying not to pretend

Dmaj7  Em  A7   Dmaj7  Em  A7
Ooo...

Em           A7
And still we did it
Em             A7
We left on our own merry way
Em        A7     D
Into this world alone

Bm
How were we to know
F#m
Things were so simple then
Bm
Somehow we lost hope
F#m                    A G F#m Em
Falling to earth again

Dmaj7                            Em
Then came that cold winter's day
        A7          Dmaj7  Em  A7
When we ended it forever
      Dmaj7                     Em
After everything we used to say
          A7                   Dmaj7  Em  A7
There was nothing to keep us together

Em        A7
And so we did it
Em               A7
Each left on our own merry way
Em           A7     D
Back to this world alone
