[Verse]
Tonight I Cadd9walk these city streets
And I Dthink about the Empast

Bm7In my heart I can Conly wish you well
CI hope you find your every dDsus4reamD

GWe have Dtaken Amdifferent Croads
GWe have Dgone our separate AmwaysC  
GThough there Dmaybe many Ammiles Cbetween us

It will not Emchange acrosss a thousand Cdays
Down a DdiffeCrent Groad,  C    GDown a different roadD  C  
[Verse]
Cadd9That old river's turning, but is it Dgoing anyEmwhere?
Maybe like Cmaj7me, it's trying to find it's way back home
But all Cadd9alone can my heart rest?
How will my Deyes begin to Emtrust?
I Cmaj7only want the best for the both of us
[Pre-Chorus]

Bm7We'll find a place where we can gCo
Bm7I'll hold that moment
CForever and for always
CI'll never be that far aDsus4wayD
