   E  FIs this the togetherness she Ammeant - so rosyG  
FI thought we’d share a contiAmnent - so cosyG  
FI thought love’s passions really Dwould be more touchy-B7feely, well, well
Chorus:
EShe C#msaid it was F#mdestiny, Eshe C#msaid it was F#mwritten somewhere
DBut if it was Adestiny why am F#mI over here and shB7e’s over there
EShe C#msaid it was F#min the stars, EsomeC#mthing that just F#mhad to be
DBut Venus aAligned with Mars F#malways really takB7es it out oEf me
O I’m not proud of my deceit - you know that
To come so near and then retreat - you know that
One beat before I fell somewhere I heard a bell - ring, ring
Chorus
Middle part: 
AmAnd that Soothsayer said a whole lot of sooth
F#mI hope that we all might arrive at the truth
There’s clouds across my crystal ball - too misty
Was I too quick to give it all - when she kissed me
She’s thrown a net on me, razor wire geometry
