CThis just couldn't G7last the way some things Cdo
These awful heartG7aches are long overCdue
With some there is C7hope for a Flove that is Cgone
And life has its G7pick of the weak and the Cstrong
We've been so unG7wise and unfaithful Ctoo
Can we trust ourG7selves again to be Ctrue
Untold is the C7sadness when Flove has gone Cwrong
Cause life has its G7pick of the weak and the Cstrong
If we had the G7chance to love once Cagain
Could we find a G7way to change what has Cbeen
I think if we'll C7let it Flove can be a Csong
Cause life has its G7pick of the weak and the Cstrong
The gossips will G7talk and strangely Cenough
The stories they'll G7spread will be about Cus
Why fear tongues of C7evil once Fdoomed by their Cown
For life has its G7pick of the weak and the Cstrong
