C                     B7
Time has been a good friend
B7
Never let me down
F
Always give me hope
G
When hope was nowhere to be found
C                     B7
And you have given me the greatest gift of all
F                      G
A gift that's full of life

Chorus:
                  C
It was the end of you and me
                     Am7
But the beginning of us
                     F
All we have now are memories
                      G7
Of the freedom we've lost
F          G       C
It was the end of you and me
                     Am7
But the beginning of us
                      F
Now the child looking up at me
                   A# G
Is asking only for love

And now we live forever
In every breath they take
Forgetting our regrets
Forgiving our mistakes
And tears have turned to laugher
That echo through these halls
Our happy ever after

Chorus

Cmaj77                F
So sing with me this lullaby
          Am7                                G C/G G
Now we've learned to live, we don't want to die
     Cmaj7             C/A#
Just sing with me this lullaby
           F/A              F                A#
Now we've learned to live, we don't want to die

Chorus

C                C/A#
The beginning of us
                 F/A  F
The beginning of us
                 G
The beginning of us
                 C
The beginning of us
        C/A#  F/A F  A#
Oh, oh, oh
G                C
The beginning of us
