Intro:   C  F  C   F  F#  Db  Bb  C 
 
C                 F                      C                 E7 
I am here to tell you we can never meet again 
Am                Am7       F                        G 
Simple really, isn't it, a word or two and then 
    C                   F                          C                     E7 
A lifetime of not knowing where or how or why or when 
        Am                  Am7                 F 
You think of me, or speak of me, or wonder what befell 
        Dm                                             G 
The someone you once loved so long ago, so well 
 
Never wonder what I'll feel as living shuffles by 

You don't have to ask me and I need not reply 

Every moment of my life from now until I die 

I will think or dream of you and fail to understand 

How a perfect love can be confounded out of hand 

Chorus: 
C 
Is it written in the stars? 
             Am 
Are we paying for some crime? 
           F 
Is that all that we are good for? 
             G 
Just a stretch of mortal time? 
            C 
Is this God's experiment 
      Am  
In which we have no say 
     F         
In which we're given paradise 
       G            C     F  C  F  C 
But only for a day? 
 
Nothing can be altered, oh, there is nothing to decide 
No escape, no change of heart, no any place to hide 
You are all I'll ever want but this I am denying? 
Sometimes in my darkest thoughts I wish I never learned 
What it is to be in love and have that love returned 
Chorus: 
Is it written in the stars? 
Are we paying for some crime? 
Is that all that we are good for? 
Just a stretch of mortal time? 
Is this God's experiment {God's experiment} 
In which we have no say {In which we have no say} 
In which we're given paradise {If only for a day} 
But only for a day? 
{Is it written in the stars?} 
{Are we paying for some crime?} 
{Is that all that we are good for?} 
{Just a stretch of mortal time?} 
Is this God's experiment {God?s experiment} 
In which we have no say (In which we have no say) 
In which we're given paradise (Given paradise) 
But only for a day?
