[Intro]
Bmaj7 B7 E Em
Bmaj7 B7


[Verse 1]
E Em Bmaj7 B7 E Em
I was waiting by the ocean
Bmaj7 B7 E Em Bmaj7 B7 E Em
Staring endlessly, into this void of separation
Gmaj7 C#m7
Of lovers and a dream
Bmaj7 B7 E Em
'Cause, we don't talk as deep as we used to
Bmaj7 B7 E Em
If I, wanted the weather I could just watch the news
Bmaj7 B7
I fear we're losing touch
E Em
But part of me still feels in love
Gmaj7 E/F#
Guess some things just can't stay


[Chorus]
Emaj7 A7
But what if you and I had passed us by?
Bmaj7 B7
How different our lives would be?
Emaj7
Even if our stars don't end up aligning
A7 Bmaj7
There's a silver lining between
B7 Emaj7
I'm just happy that I once held you close
A7 Bmaj7 B7 E Em
Held you close to me, held you close to me
Bmaj7 B7 E Em
I, Held you close to me


[Verse 2]
Bmaj7 B7 E Em
It's hard to say that I'll be fine on my own
Bmaj7 B7 E Em
I remember how you taught me turn your heart to a home
Bmaj7 B7 E Em
If you were still around, you'd say that "I'm actin' strange"
Gmaj7 C#m7 F#7
I just can't help but miss those days So


[Chorus]
Emaj7 A7
what if you and I had passed us by?
Bmaj7 B7
How different our lives would be?
Emaj7
Even if our stars don't end up aligning
A7 Bmaj7
There's a silver lining between
B7 Emaj7
I'm just happy that I once held you close
A7
Held you close to me
Bmaj7 B7 E Em
Held you close to me, I
Bmaj7 B7 E Em
Held you close to me
Bmaj7 B7 E Em
Held you close to me, I
Bmaj7 B7 E Em
Held you close to me,


[Bridge]
Gmaj7 F#m7
And I hope you know that
Fmaj7 Em
There were more than memories made
Gmaj7 F#m7 Fmaj7 Em
'Cause all the things that you said, I still hold up in me today
Gmaj7
If times could change
F#m7
And take me back
Fmaj7
I don't think that I would change a single thing
Em Gmaj7 F#m7
We parted ways but it's time well spent
A6 C#m7 F#7
So love and peace in this life 'til the end


[Chorus]
Emaj7 A7
What if you and I had passed us by?
Bmaj7 B7
How different our lives would be?
Emaj7
Even if our stars don't end up aligning
A7
There's a silver lining
