A      Amaj7     D
Lovers leave and don't come back
E                A
Passions wait to live again
C#m                 D
Shooting stars fall with the rest
E                    A
Some things are  too good to last
A      Amaj7      D
Flowers by       another name
E             A
Live again in memory
C#m                 D
Burning hearts that run too fast
E                 A
You were just too good to last
C#m            D
I can keep for sure
C#m             D       E
What we had out of this world
A         Amaj7       D       
When your tears would warm my smile
E             A 
I knew heaven for awhile
C#m                D
The better part of a short past
E                A
We were just too good to last

SOLO

C#m            D
I can keep for sure
C#m              D      E
What we had out of this world
A      Amaj7     D
Lovers leave and don't come back
E                A
Passions wait to live again
C#m               D
Rainbows fade out with the rest
E               A
We were just to good to last
C#m                 D
Burning hearts that run too fast
E                   D        A   D   E   A
Some things are too good to last
