Do you ever get the feeling that you're living someone else's life?
                                                             B
and all the time you thought that you were happy and didn't think twice


E
The winter that we spent together got so cold I thought we'd die
                                              B      A
and the dress you wore at Easter that made me cry


[Chorus]:

G#m           A              E     B ----4--2--0---------0---|
I'll meet you at the world's end,  G ---------------1/2------|

G#m        A              E
two saints walking arm in arm

G#m           A              E                 B             A
I'll meet you at the world's end,  two saints walking arm in arm
        E
young again

E
The smoke from burning bridges has been stinging in our eyes for years
                                                        B
so we never learn to see the good that stares us in the face


E
with the sound of false alarm bells still ringing in our ears
                                                  B       A
so all the time we never knew, there is no better place


[Chorus]


[Bridge] :
G                       E
So we share a secret place
G                          E
I never knew it meant that much to you
  G^                      E
A place where we begin and end
             B             B     A
see, I never knew, I never knew


[Chorus]
