[Verse 1: Faiz]
Bb
I'll fully comprehend why the 21st of December
Cm Ebm Bb
Rings heavy on my battle-worn heart
[Chorus: Faiz]
Bb
But who are we kidding?
Bb7
Nobody's winning
Cm F7 Bb
In this tale of past and future love
[Verse 2: Fathia]
Bb
They were just 20
Bb
Show us the money
Cm Ebm
A smoke show picturesque
Bb
Affair
Bb
It started as all things do
Bb7
A simple hello turned to
Cm Ebm
Romantic visions far
Bb
Away
[Chorus: Fathia]
Bb
They were too clever
Bb7
For it to be never
Cm F7
As they sunk into each other's arms
[Spoken word: Fathia]
Bb
And this is the part
Gm
Where our whole lives collide
BbM7
The stars themselves fell
Gm
Like we did that night
Cm Adim
Though it felt like the universe knew
Cm7 Adim
A pack of friends who couldn't hold their laughter
Bb Gm
They chose to be painfully obvious in front of us
BbM7 Gm
Slightly unaware or in denial of the dangers ahead
Cm Adim
We thrust our weary hearts into each other's arms
Cm7
Content and comfortable
F
For years to come
Bb Bb7 Cm7 F Bb
[Verse 3: Faiz]
Bb
They felt it right and true
Bb
Blessings and kisses
Cm Ebm Bb
As they thought it was the universe's wishes
Bb
And though they could feel it then
Bb7
It's not how they want to end
Cm
So they turn their heads away
Ebm Bb
As if they were to say goodbye
[Chorus]
Bb
But clocks keep on ticking
Bb7
And life keeps on going
Cm F Bb
To leave the pair behind at last
[Spoken word: Faiz & Fathia]
[Bridge]
Bb
We were young and we were old
Cm
Life was warm then life was cold
It gets harder
yes you'll see
F
But were we ever meant to be?
Bb
We were young and we were old
Cm
Life was warm then life was cold
It gets harder
yes you'll see
F
But were we ever meant to be?
Bb
We were young and we were old
Cm
Life was warm then life was cold
It gets harder
yes you'll see
F
But were we ever meant to be?

We were young and we were old
Cm
Life was warm then life was cold
It gets harder
yes you'll see
F
But were we ever meant to be?
Bb Bb7 Cm7 F
