 C            Dm7-5      E7
When we were young and green
Am              Fm7 A#7
We shared our dreams
   Em7 Am G7
Together
                   C
And you were my friend...

 C          Dm7-5      E7
We had our good times, pal.
Am                Fm7 A#7
We thought they'd last
   Em7 Am G7
Forever.
                     C
But nothing last forever
G7               C   E Am D7 G7 C
Nothing lasts forever.

F          D
Time goes by
     G       C
And people change.
      F          G
It's best we go our
E7
Separate ways.
Am                    D
And it was wrong to think our love
       F    Fm7
Would never end,
    G7
My friend.
                 C
Nothing lasts forever
G7               C   E Am D7 G7 C
Nothing lasts forever

Time goes by it takes us all
Nations crumble and empires fall
And who are we
To think that we would always be
You see nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever

I know that you'll survive
And you'll get by whatever
Though you say goodbye
My love will never die
It will last forever

A#6
Your love will die
     F                C
But mine will last forever.

Your love will fade
But mine will last forever.

Your feeling might go
But mine will last forever.

And though you're gone
You're in my mind forever
