              G        G7                  C 
For y-ou my heart was always open 
 
        G                                   D7 
But you walked out and this loneliness came in 
 
         G                G7             C 
What I'd give to know the future now and then 
 
     G                    D7                 G 
If a heart must be broken why let the loving begin 
 
 
           G7                C 
For y-ou a treasure became a token 
 
          G                              D7 
I lost it all for a love that might have been 
 
         G                G7             C 
What I'd give to know the future now and then 
 
     G                    D7                 G 
If a heart must be broken why let the loving begin 
 
 
     C             D7                       G 
They say the heart sometimes will cloud the mind 
 
    C                 G      D7 
And nothing stands to reason when a love is blind 
 
        G               G7            C 
But the truth is always harder in the end 
 
     G                    D7                 G 
If a heart must be broken why let the loving begin 
 
 
     C             D7                       G 
They say the heart sometimes will cloud the mind 
 
    C                 G      D7 
And nothing stands to reason when a love is blind 
 
        G               G7            C 
But the truth is always harder in the end 
 
     G                    D7                 G 
If a heart must be broken why let the loving begin 
 
 
                          G7             C 
What I'd give to know the future now and then 
 
     G                    D7                 G 
If a heart must be broken why let the loving begin
