B      F#          G#m       F#
When I look in the mirror of time
      E             F#       B
Often find that I'm doing it over
    B      D#          G#m            F#
But when I look at the tears from her eyes
           E          F#             B
Don't regret a single word that I've told her

               E
And when we're distant
                             B
I'm sure you'll think things over
              E
I hope you'll miss it
                            B
But I'll still have an open shoulder
           C#                 F#             E
For you to lean and laugh and cry on, little girl


[Verse 2]
 B    D#            G#m          F#        E
How I wish that the start of the end would begin
                F#            B
That she'd need all that I've shown her
B          D#       G#m        F#
I know the cycle of life could begin
       E            F#            B
And in time I'd be stuck starting over

             E
And with the distance
                        B
I hope faith don't roll over
             E
If you don't miss it
                        B
I'll still have an open shoulder
           C#                 F#             E
For you to lean and laugh and cry on, little girl


[Bridge]
         E            B     E
Why does love have to end?
                      B                E
Why do hearts have to break and mend?
                                     B         E
Why do they tell me you won't be the only one?


[Outro]
                        B                      E
They don't believe that love can last forever
                    B                       E
Do you believe that love can last forever?
               B                      E
I believe that love can last forever
                    B                       E
Do you believe that love can last forever?
               B                      E
I believe that love can last forever
