chorus
 g                 A              D                       g

 g           A               D                   g
  and when i held your hand - i knew that it was now or never

  g           D
  man we were killin' time
          C                       A
  we were young and reckless - we needed to unwind
 g         D                  C
  i guess nothing can last forever...

  i think about you wonder what went wrong

 g           A               D                   g
  and when i held your hand - i knew that it was now or never
