Bm      E            F#m
Often love ends in sadness
 Bm                    E
It burns and bleeds and breaks before
   F#m
it bends
  Bm               E
Look at what we've built from all the
F#m
madness
 Bm          E                 F#m
You are my beginning, you're my end


[Chorus 1]
 Bm                  E
It was always you and me
 A                  F#m
I loved you at twenty-three
 Bm                     E
Whats the word for how I feel about you
F#m
now?
 Bm                    E
Feel like Paris on the night
 A                     F#m
When I promised you my life
 Bm                   E
Look forever, you might find
 F#m
Amanda


[Verse 2]
  Bm         E         F#m
Young lovers covet the beginning
  Bm         E                  F#m
They'd feign to find the fire ever fake
  Bm         E                A
The lesson that we've learned over and
F#m
again
 Bm                  E
Is pain and pleasure both are worth the
F#m
same


[Chorus 2]
  Bm                   E
It was always you and me
  A                 F#m
I loved you at twenty-three
  Bm                       A
What's the word for how I feel about
  F#m
you now?
 Bm                        E
When the kids have gone to sleep
 A                  F#m
And I'm making us a drink
Bm                     E
Raising babies, chasing dreams
F#m
Amanda


[Chorus 3]
  Bm                   E
It was always you and me
  A                 F#m
I loved you at twenty-three
  Bm                       A
What's the word for how I feel about
  F#m
you now?
 Bm                      E
When I'm getting old and gray
 A                     F#m
And I'm counting up my days
 Bm                    E
The last word that I'll say
F#m
Amanda


[Outro]
A
A name so sweet
A
It sings like a melody
A
Brings me peace
A
It brings me peace
