Capo 4 [Intro] C F G G [Verse 1] C F G I once saw a sunset so vivid and warm that I swore it was perfect C F G I once had a lover, I'm not sure if I'll recover, but I know it was worth it C F Then, last night in the car, the falling raindrops looked like stars of some G incalculable speed F Fm C Then later, my friends said "Good to see you again, this is a home to me" [Chorus] F C So I wrote a song and I called it "The Love of my Life" F G Said "don't be gone long", it now sings me to sleep every night [Verse 2] C F G And I never learned a lesson looking at my own reflection, but sometimes it seems useful C F G So I loosen my heart strings in high hopes of starting to find something truthful [Chorus] F C Cynicism isn't wisdom, it's a lazy way to say that you've been burned F Fm It seems, if anything, you'd be less certain after everything you ever learned [Outro] C F G G (x4)
