[Intro]
E       G#5    C#5    A5
E       G#5    C#5    A5

[Verse]
E         G#5 C#5     A5
  You and me  forever
E      G#5  C#5      A5
  We belong together
E           G#5    C#5      A5
  And we'll always endeavor
E            G#5         C#5     A5
  Throughout any type of weather

[Chorus]
B5*                      F#5
  You want everything to be just like
B5*                             F#5         F#5        G#5
  The stories that you read but never write
A5                                 E5*
  You've got to learn to live, and live and learn
D5                                 A5
  You've got to learn to give, and wait your turn
              B5*   A5
Or you'll get burned

[Bridge]
E       G#5    C#5    A5     G5
E       G#5    C#5    A5     G5

[Verse]
E               G#5               C#5      A5
  You wrote our names down on the sidewalk
E     G#5           C#5             A5
  The rain came and washed them off
E              G#5                   C#5        A5
  So we should write'em again on the wet cement
E        G#5                        C#5           A5
  A long time from now they'll know what we meant

[Chorus]
B5*                         F#5
  You want every morning to be just like
B5*                             F#5         F#5  G#5
  The stories that you read but never write
A5                                 E5*
  You've got to learn to live, and live and learn
D5                                 A5
  You've got to learn to give, and wait your turn
            B5*   A5
I'm only concerned

[Bridge]
E       G#5    C#5    A5     G5
E       G#5    C#5    A5     G5

[Verse]
E            G#5                  C#5     A5
  I'm adding something new to the mixture
E              G#5                   C#5     A5
  So there's a different hue to your picture
E             G#5            C#5       A5
  A different ending to this fairytale
E         G#5         C#5           A5
  Another sunset into which we sail

[Chorus]
B5*                      F#5
  You want everything to be just like
B5*                              F#5             F#5  G#5
  The stories that you read, but you can't write
A5                                 E5*
  You've got to learn to live, and live and learn
D5                                 A5
  You've got to learn to give, and wait your turn
              B5*   A5
Or you'll get burned
