Em
One time we lived
          D
Like the time would never leave
Bm
One time we had
A
Luxury to grief

   Em
We couldn't see an end
       D
There was no end in sight
 Bm
Time has risen up, time has pulled us down
          A
Bringing darkness to the light

C
I remember the way you looked
     G
The sun had set, the lights were down
C
I remember the light in your eyes
       G
You remember at all, you remember at all, but

Chorus:
Em                      D
But isn't that what we wanted,
                        Bm
But isn't that what we wanted
                    A
Isn't that what we had
Do we know what we need
              Em
Now that it's gone
                       D
But isn't that what we wanted,
                        Bm
But isn't that what we wanted
                    A
Isn't that what we had
Do we know what we need

One time we lived
Like the time would never end
And now it breaks
Both left alone again

While the waters coarse
By the old and pale light
I see just what I've lost
And die into the night

I remember the way you looked
The sun had set, the lights were down
I remember the light in your eyes
Do you remember at all?
Do you remember at all?

Chorus

Esus2
Now that it's gone
Esus2
Now that it's gone
Esus2
Now that it's gone
Esus2
Now that it's gone

Em                      D
But isn't that what we wanted,
                        Bm
But isn't that what we wanted
                   A
Isn't that what we had
Do we know what we need
              Em
Now that it's gone
                        D
But isn't that what we wanted,
                       Bm
But isn't that what we wanted
                    A
Isn't that what we had
Do we know what we need
               A7
Now that it's gone
