[Intro: ]D 

G              C                   G 
Now it’s about time I wrote you a letter 
               C                   G 
Hey baby, it’s me for worse or for better 
               C                  F       D 
Got nothing to waste in pace for another lane 

               G 
No loss, only gain 
              C                        G 
I know all we had has dried like the desert 
                 C                      G 
Stains from the sand are still on my T-shirt 
                 C              F          D 
And I crave a drink of heavenly cool cool rain 

           C                  D 
And after all you were the greatest 
       Bm           Em 
After all I did my best 
           C          D             G   D 
There is nothing to regret, big or small 
       C                      D 
After all, there wasn’t a loophole 
          Bm               Em 
We were bound to take the fall 
           C          D             G   D 
Life goes on and on and on after all 

 G             C                   G 
Now it’s about time I settled the story 
                   C                      G 
You slept in too late and missed all the glory 
                 C                  F            D 
Got stuck in a dream  That finally blurred your brain 

                 G 
I tried to stay sane 
                 C                   G 
Hey love is so blind it pops out the window 
                 C                   G 
But no one will find teardrops on my pillow 
               C                F       D 
As I raise a glass of heavenly cool champagne 

           C                  D 
Cos after all you were the greatest 
       Bm           Em 
After all I did my best 
           C          D               G     D 
There is nothing to regret, Large or small, oh no 
       C                  D 
After all, peep thru any keyhole 
            Bm                  Em 
And you’ll see we were bound to fall 
              C          D             Em  A 
But life goes on and on and on after all 
               C          D             G 
Yea, life goes on and on and on after all 

Solo:  G  Bm  G  Bm  Am  D  Am  D 

           C                  D 
Cos after all you were the greatest 
       Bm           Em 
After all I did my best 
           C          D               G     D 
There is nothing to regret, big or small 
       C                  D 
After all, there wasn’t a loophole 
            Bm              Em 
We were bound to take the fall 
              C             D         Em  A 
But life goes on and on and on after all 
               C             D         G     C  G 
Yea, life goes on and on and on after all
