Standard tuning
Capo: 1
D
Here goes everything right on down to the wire
G
I'm gonna sing like a canary on fire
A D
And the world won't stop, but maybe you will stay
D
I apologize for rocking the boat
G
My heart gets caught on a lump in my throat
A D
And the words just miss my lips somewhere along the way
G A D G A D
You and me, we got no more illusions, wild cards or shadows of a doubt
G A Bm A G D
But the end ain't a foregone conclusion, oh, baby, can we live without
illusions?
Our long shadows cast here in the moonlight
Across the lawn and fade from our sight
And the world beyond is turning like a wheel
Every step we take is out of the past
Everybody says, darlin', that we won't last
But they don't know what we know or feel what we feel
You and me, we got no more illusions, wild cards or shadows of a doubt
But the end ain't a foregone conclusion, oh, baby, can we live without
illusions?
G A D Bm
I can't pretend that the sparks are still flying
A G D
Or the ember's burning stronger
G A D Bm
At least by now, we might be getting real good at trying
A G
Can we try a little longer?
You and me, we got no more conclusions, wild cards, or shadows of a doubt
But the end ain't a foregone conclusion, oh, baby, can we live without
illusions
