It Cwasn't supposed to be like tFhis,
You Calways were the Amanswer, Fto my every wish.G  
EmTalkin' 'bout forever with your hAmand in mine,
EmYou and me together 'till the Amend of timGe.

And leavin' wasn't even on the list,
And it Fwasn't supposed to Gbe like Cthis.F

We Cweren't supposed to fall apFart,
I Cnever even noAmticed, when I Fbroke your heart.G  
EmGuess I must be crazy standin' Amout here in the cold,
But EmI can't bear the thought of goin' Amhome, and growin' old.G  
Or Flivin' one more Am7day without your Ckiss,
And it Fwasn't supposed to Gbe like Cthis.

A7Once you come so Dmfar for love,
FYou've no where else to go.G

EmI was thinkin' maybe we could Amstart again,
EmNow I know that, that ain't how the Amstory ends.G  
So FI'll just turn and Am7go if you insCist,
But it Fwasn't supposed to Gbe like Cthis.
No Fleavin' wasn't Am7even on the Clist,
I Fwasn't supposed to Gbe like Cthis.
