We all lead             such elaborate lives

               Eb   Eb/F    G7                         Cm 
How an affair                   of the heart survives 
 
          Fm/Ab  Abmaj7 Bb7 
Days apart and hurried nights 
 
 
Bb       Bb       G7

Bb   Ab/Eb  Eb 
I just want our time to be     slower and gentler, wi-----ser,  free 
 
We all live in extravagant times 
Playing games we can't all win 
Unintended emotional crimes 
Take some out, take others in 
 
I'm so tired of all we're going through 
I don't want to live like that 
I'm so tired of all we're going through 
I don't want to love like that 
I just want to be with you now and forever, peaceful, true

To tell you face to face 
 
                              F7 
But I could wait forever 
 
                                      Bb      Ab/Bb 
For the perfect time and place 
 
 
Ab/Bb  Eb         (rest of verse same as 1st) 
We all   live such elaborate lives 
We don't know whose words are true 
Strangers, lovers, husbands, wives 
Hard to know whose loving who 
 
Too many choices tear us apart 
I don't want to live like that 
Too many choices tear us apart 
I don't want to love like that 
 
 
I just want to touch your heart, may this confession be the start 
    
Fine: Eb   Cm7   Ab   Eb/Bb   Bb7   Eb
