Intro: D F Gm D Bb
D Am D Am
There's a picture in the hall, I know
D Am D Am
and it's from a time when feelings showed
C Bb
though I hold it close before my eyes
C Bb
my heart refuses to see.
Bb Am
Loving you could have been, oh so easy
C Bb
but there is something you don't understand
Am
through the times when two were one completely
C Bb
there was another in this well laid plan.
D Am D Am
This corridor seems to stretch for years ahead
D Am D Am
but patient hearts cannot match times steady tread
C Bb
is this the threshold of a fantasy?
C Bb
is there still life at all?

Loving you could have been, oh so easy

there was a time when I was won completely

our emotions they got out of hand...
