Love will abide. Take things in stride

Sounds like good advice, but there's no one at my side

And time washes clean love's wounds unseen
   D   E7           F#m   F#m7      B7                 E7
That's what someone told me, but I don't know what it means

I can't say you hurt me when you never let me near

And I never drew   one response from you
 D       E7       F#m  F#m7  B7             E7
All the while you fell over girls you never knew

Wait for the day   you go away
 D       E7       F#m  F#m7        B7                E
Knowing that you warned me of the price I'd have to pay

And life's full of loss,  who knows the cost

Living in the mem - o - ry of the love that never was
