[Verse 1]
G                        C  G
I gaze in your eyes now
                  C
But you're not in sight
                  G
Just a picture of someone
                D7
I lie with each night
              G         G7  G
Long may love live here
               C
You fill up my home
                      G            D7
And though you're not with me now
             G    C  G
I won't be alone

[Chorus]
              C
Now wisdom is fine
                        G
But the heart leads the way
                       C  G       Em
And nothing can change my memory
       A7                   D7
Like a wise man I patiently wait
D             C
No matter how long
                Em
Human nature is cruel
    C           G
But all hope is gone
                 D7
If you don't act on
D              G     F  G
The words of a fool

[Verse 2]
                 G
Now times may be tough
            C
But we must survive
                  G
And I'd rather be dead with you
           D7
Than go on alive
D              G
That's my one obsession
             C
My Christian belief
               G               D7
For he who has loved and lost
                G       C  G
Then loved he shall be

[Chorus]
    G7        C
Now wisdom is fine
                        G
But the heart leads the way
                       C  G       Em
And nothing can change my memory
       A7                   D7
Like a wise man I patiently wait
D             C
No matter how long
                Em
Human nature is cruel
    C           G
But all hope is gone
                 D7
If you don't act on
D              G     F  G
The words of a fool

[Outro]
                G
But all hope is gone
                 D7
If you don't act on
    D          G     F  G
The words of a fool
