[Verse 1: Faiz]
Bb
I'll fully comprehend why the 21st of December
      Cm          Ebm         Bb
Rings heavy on my battle-worn heart
 
 
[Chorus: Faiz]
Bb
But who are we kidding?
Bb7
Nobody's winning
        Cm               F7       Bb
In this tale of past and future love
 
 
[Verse 2: Fathia]
Bb
They were just 20
Bb
Show us the money
  Cm                Ebm
A smoke show picturesque
    Bb
Affair
Bb
It started as all things do
Bb7
A simple hello turned to
   Cm             Ebm
Romantic visions far
   Bb
Away
 
 
[Chorus: Fathia]
Bb
They were too clever
Bb7
For it to be never
        Cm             F7
As they sunk into each other's arms
 
 
[Spoken word: Fathia]
Bb
And this is the part
Gm
Where our whole lives collide
BbM7
The stars themselves fell
Gm
Like we did that night
Cm             Adim
Though it felt like the universe knew
Cm7                                           Adim
A pack of friends who couldn't hold their laughter
Bb                         Gm
They chose to be painfully obvious in front of us
BbM7                                 Gm
Slightly unaware or in denial of the dangers ahead
Cm                         Adim
We thrust our weary hearts into each other's arms
Cm7
Content and comfortable
F
For years to come
 
Bb Bb7 Cm7 F Bb
 
[Verse 3: Faiz]
Bb
They felt it right and true
Bb
Blessings and kisses
        Cm                 Ebm         Bb
As they thought it was the universe's wishes
Bb
And though they could feel it then
Bb7
It's not how they want to end
        Cm
So they turn their heads away
   Ebm                      Bb
As if they were to say goodbye
 
 
[Chorus]
Bb
But clocks keep on ticking
Bb7
And life keeps on going
    Cm               F       Bb
To leave the pair behind at last
 
 
[Spoken word: Faiz & Fathia]
N.C.
She said to me
 
And I said to her
 
To hold back each other's true fate
N.C.
Is not of our nature
 
Let's be mature
 
Maybe you weren't made for me
N.C.
Nor I for you
 
But I'd be damn lying
 
If I think that that's true
 
 
[Bridge]
Bb
We were young and we were old
                            Cm
Life was warm then life was cold
 
It gets harder, yes you'll see
            F
But were we ever meant to be?
Bb
We were young and we were old
                            Cm
Life was warm then life was cold
 
It gets harder, yes you'll see
            F
But were we ever meant to be?
Bb
We were young and we were old
                            Cm
Life was warm then life was cold
 
It gets harder, yes you'll see
            F
But were we ever meant to be?
Bb
We were young and we were old
                            Cm
Life was warm then life was cold
 
It gets harder, yes you'll see
            F
But were we ever meant to be?

[Outro]
Bb                        Bb
We were young and we were old
                            Bb
Life was warm then life was cold
                           Bb7
It gets harder, yes you'll see
                          Cm
But were we ever meant to be?
                          Cm
We were young and we were old
                            Cm7
Life was warm then life was cold
                           F
It gets harder, yes you'll see
                          Bb
But were we ever meant to?
