Lyrics

It started out like a (C)song.

(Fsus)We started quiet and (Faug)slow, with no surprise,

(F6)and then one (C)morning I (Dm9)woke to (D7)realize:

(Gm9)We had a good thing going.

(F)It's not that nothing went wrong.

(Fsus)Some angry moments, of (Faug)course, but just a few,

(F6)and only (C)moments, no (Dm9)more, (D7)because we knew (Gm11)we had a good thing going.

(F9)And if I wanted too much,

was that such a mistake at the time?

(Am7)You never wanted enough.

All right, tough, I don't make that a crime.

(F)And while it's going (C)along, (Fsus)you take for granted some (Faug)love will wear away.

(F6)We took for (C)granted a (Dm9)lot and (D7)still I say (Gm11)it could have kept on growing,

(Am9)instead of just kept on.

(Gm11)We had a good thing (Bb)(Dm)going...

(Bbmaj7)(C)going... (F)gone.
