EWe have a Alove that is Etarnished
EI know that you have B7cheated,
it's Etrue that you have Alied
AYou've answered calls from Estrangers,
Eand pushed our love B7aside
EBut I'll ignore what I B7don't see,
Esometimes it's best that Away
Aignorance gives Etarnished love, B7another chance to EplayA  
EWe have a Alove that is Etarnished,
Eit doesn't shine like it shone when it was B7new
EI know that Avows can be Ebroken,
EI'm sure of this 'cause I've made mistakes B7too
ELove is seldom B7perfect, it Aoften fades Eaway,
But, Adarlin', our Etarnished love
grows B7stronger every Eday
[Outro]
But, Adarlin', our Etarnished love grows B7stronger every Eday
EWe have a Alove that is Etarnished
