D                                   A7 
The story of you and I has beautiful memories 
                                           D  
Til lonesome and weary sighs start keepin' them company 
                                  D7                 G 
As soon as they all gather 'round, along comes misery 
D                      A7 
Then here we go again, here we go again 

D                                         A7 
So if an old friend of mine comes knockin' upon my door 
                                       D       
All I could tell him now, he's already heard before 
                             D7                            G 
It's better to love and lose, to never have played at all 
D                       A7               D            B7 
For sometimes losers are the only ones who win 


E                                        B7 
I'd rather fall apart than never knowing loving you 
                                              E 
 For every broken-hearted lover, love was once anew 
                                              B7 
And that will be the hope that gets me through eternity 
                                              E 
Along with all the memories that belong to you and me 


A fortunate man I am that you were a part of me 
The game has been played and I'm just shy of a victory 
The heartaches that carry on will soon be history 
Let's hope the world is full of losers in the end 

I'd rather fall apart than never knowing loving you 
For every broken-hearted lover, love was once anew 
And that will be the hope that gets me through eternity 
Along with all the memories that belong to you and me
