Still life (intro)

Dm C Dm - C

1. There's a picture in the hall, I know,

Dm C Dm - C

and it's from a time when feelings showed.

C Dm

Though I hold it close before my eyes,

C Bb

my heart refuses to see.

Bb - C Am

Loving you could have been, oh so easy,

C Dm Bb

but there is something you don't understand.

Bb - C Am

Through the times when two were one completely,

C Dm Bb

there was another in this well-laid plan.

Dm C Dm - C

2. This corridor seems to stretch for years ahead,

Dm C Dm - C

but patient hearts cannot match times steady tread.

C Dm

Is this the threshold of a fantasy?

C Bb

Is there still life at all?

+ CHORUS

- Bb

Best laid plan of ours.

C Bb Dm

Watering the garden, some comfort for the twilight years,

C Gm Bb Dm

still life never lingers, it marches past our veil of tears.

Bb C

A moment's all we've got, to have and to hold,

Gm

don't slip, don't blink, don't turn your head.

Dm C Dm - C

3. With a photographic memory,

Dm C Dm - C

I could live in a time that used to be.

C Dm

Is this the threshold of a fantasy?

C Bb

Is there still life at all?

Bb - C Am

Loving you could have been, oh so easy,

C Dm Bb

but there is something you don't understand.

Bb - C Am

Through the times when two were one completely,

C Dm Bb

there was another in this well-laid plan.

Bb - C Am

Loving you could have been, oh so easy,

C Dm Bb

but there is something you don't understand.

Bb - C Am

There was a time when I was won completely completely,

C Dm Bb - Bb…..

our emotions, they got out of hand.
