Verse 1: Faiz:
Bb
I'll fully comprehend why the 21st of December
   Cm     Ebm     Bb
Rings heavy on my battle-worn heart


Chorus: Faiz:
Bb
But who are we kidding?
Bb7
Nobody's winning
    Cm        F    Bb
In this tale of past and future love

Verse 2: Fathia:
Bb
They were just 20
Bb
Show us the money
 Cm        Ebm
A smoke show picturesque
  Bb
Affair
Bb
It started as all things do
Bb7
A simple hello turned to
  Cm       Ebm
Romantic visions far
  Bb
Away


Chorus: Fathia:
Bb
They were too clever
Bb7
For it to be never
    Cm       F
As they sunk into each other's arms


Spoken word: Fathia:
Bb
And this is the part
Gm
Where our whole lives collide
BbM7
The stars themselves fell
Gm
Like we did that night
Cm       Adim
Though it felt like the universe knew
Cm7                      Adim
A pack of friends who couldn't hold their laughter
Bb             Gm
They chose to be painfully obvious in front of us
BbM7                 Gm
Slightly unaware or in denial of the dangers ahead
Cm             Adim
We thrust our weary hearts into each other's arms
Cm7
Content and comfortable
F
For years to come

Bb Bb7 Cm7 F Bb

Verse 3: Faiz:
Bb
They felt it right and true
Bb
Blessings and kisses
    Cm         Ebm     Bb
As they thought it was the universe's wishes
Bb
And though they could feel it then
Bb7
It's not how they want to end
    Cm
So they turn their heads away
  Ebm           Bb
As if they were to say goodbye


Chorus:
Bb
But clocks keep on ticking
Bb7
And life keeps on going
  Cm        F    Bb
To leave the pair behind at last


Spoken word: Faiz & Fathia:
N.C.
She said to me

And I said to her

To hold back each other's true fate
N.C.
Is not of our nature

Let's be mature

Maybe you weren't made for me
N.C.
Nor I for you

But I'd be damn lying

If I think that that's true
