GREAT LOVE OF MY LIFE



D                              G             C
                G
Great love of my life, how I feel you here beside me
                        Am              C
                      G
Watching the clouds turn red at the close of the day.
               Em                            G   Em
             C
And you know I think about you as the sun goes down
                              G          D
And you're far away.


Great love of my life, I see your face before me
As the day goes fading into night.
And it's all that I can do not to want you here beside me
In the firelight.

Great love of my life, you know it isn't easy
Saying goodbye to the good times that we knew.
But the hard times came and took us where we never
     thought we'd go,
And left us broken, me and you.

Great love of my life, the flames are leaping higher
Talking to me in the quiet, empty room
So happy and so sad with the twisted pain of love
That left too soon.

Remember the time we stood laughing like small children
Caught in the rain and they took our photograph
With our arms around each other and our eyes on fire
Looking out at the rain running off our hats.

Great love of my life, the first time that we touched
We were so hungry it took us by surprise
And it never changed all the years we were as one.
                      G                       D
We tasted it all; we paid the price
                             G
And we paid the price.
