A             E             A
Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
F#m                        D
Perfect situations must go wrong
A            E             D
But this has never yet prevented me
Bm              D                E
Wanting far too much for far too long
A              E                     A
Looking back I could have played it differently
F#m                             D
Won a few more moments, who can tell?
A           E            D
But it took time to understand the man
Bm                              E
Now at least I know, I know him well

[Chorus]
          A
Wasn't it good? (Oh so good)
          D
Wasn't he fine? (Oh so fine)
          Dm
Isn't it madness
            A        Dm
He can't be mine?
    A             E                  F#m
But in the end he needs a little bit more than me
B7      A
More security
             E           D          E           A
He needs his fantasy and freedom. I know him so well

[Verse]
A              E                A
No one in your life is with you constantly
F#m                          D
No one is completely on your side
A            E                D
And though I move my world to be with him
Bm                D             E
Still the gap between us is too wide

A             E                      A
Looking back I could have played it differently
F#m                            D
Learned about the man before I fell
A         E            D
But I was ever so much younger then
Bm             D                E
Now at least I know, I know him well

[Chorus]
          A
Wasn't it good? (Oh So good)
          D
Wasn't he fine? (Oh So fine)
          Dm
Isn't it madness
            A
He won't be mine?
           F#m                                   B
Didn't I know how it would go if I knew from the start
E                A
Why am I falling apart?
                          D
Wasn't it good? Wasn't he fine?
         Dm
Isn't it madness
            A         Dm
He won't be mine?
    A             E                  F#m
But in the end he needs a little bit more than me
B7     A
More security
             E           D          E           A
He needs his fantasy and freedom. I know him so well

           Dm             A
...It took time to understand him
E                 A
    I know him so well
