D#m                  B 
Despair, regret, and tenderness
   G#m             Bb
Is what I feel for you
  D#m                B
I loved you from the very start
G#m               Bb
What else could I do

F#                Bbm
You read my mind, you made me cry
G#
Time stood still
F#                 Bbm
And now I know the reasons why
G#
Time stood still

Maybe you're the next best thing to happen
F#                Bbm        G#
All the things we might have been

  D#m             B
A flame becomes a fading light
     G#m             Bb
That burns inside my heart
    D#m                  B
And like a castle in the sand
   G#m         B
It had to fall apart

    F#                 Bbm
You made me laugh, you gave me hope
G#
It's over now
F#                 Bbm
Our happiness went up in smoke
G#
It's over now

All the things we might have been
