Em               C            G

It's time for me to finally meet

Somebody new

Take her to all the places that
          G
I took us to
              Em
And she might help me forget
C          G
But loving her is something
              Em
I could never do

Because i had

Because I had, because I had you

That you and I will go down in history together, yeah
And does your sister ask about me?
You and I, what we had, is it gone forever?
