[Intro]

Am G C

[Verse 1]

C G Am Am

Once we sailed across the seas

C G Am Am

Yet some doubts tainted winds blew

C G Am Am

Once our tale you believed in

C G Am Am

Yet these doubts have drowned your soul

C G Am Am

Man plans and god laughs

C G Am Am

This is what I've learnt from you

C G Am Am

Once we stood just like two halves

C G Am Am

Yet these doubts have drowned your soul

[Chorus]

C G Am Am

I wonder will we be

C G Am Am

Up to the legend once we heard

C G Am Am

I wonder if we will see

C G C

Each other flying as two halcyon birds

C G Am Am

Ooooo-ooo-ooo

C G Am Am

Ooooo-ooo-ooo

C G Am Am

[Verse 2]

C G Am Am

For a while, I thought you were lost

C G Am Am

In the depths where lovers meet

C G Am Am

One last smile and fingers crossed

C G Am Am

Is how you left the lovers seat

[Chorus]

C G Am Am

I wonder will we be

C G Am Am

Up to the legend once we heard

C G Am Am

I wonder if we will see

Each other flying as two halcyon birds

I've tried to make them burn and let them all fade away

Yet these memories remain, stuck in my bones and my brain

I've tried to make them burn and let them all fade away

C G Am Am

Yet these memories remain, stuck in my bones and my brain

C G Am Am

I've tried to make them burn and let them all fade away

Yet these memories remain, stuck in my bones and my brain

I've tried to make them burn and let them all fade away

Yet these memories remain, stuck in my bones and my brain
