7    7     7   -6 5   6   6
I've been look-ing at peo-ple
 7   7    7    7     -6   5    6
And how they change with the times
 7   7   -8  8   8     8   8  -9   9   8   7
And late-ly all I've been see-ing are peo-ple
  7   -8   8   8  8   8   8  -8    7   8  -8 
Throw-ing love a-way and los-ing their mi-nds
  7    7    7  -6    5    6  6
Maybe it's me who's gone cra-zy
 7  7   7    7 -6    5    6
But I can't un-der-stand why
 7   -8    8   8   8    8   -9    9   8  7 
 All these lov-ers keep hurt-ing each oth-er

  -8    8   8   8  8   8   -8  7   8-8
 When good love is so hard to come b-y
 8   8     8   8  -8  7  8   -8
So what's the glo-ry in leav-ing
 7    -8  8 8  8  8  8 -8   7  -8  8   -8 -8 7  8
Does-n't an-y-bod-y ev-er stay to-geth-er an-y-more
 7  -8  8    -8 7    8    7  -8 7
 And if love nev-er lasts for-ev-er
  7  -8   8     8  -8  7  7
 Tell me what's for-ev-er for
 
(Verse 2)
I've been listening to people
 And they say love is the key
 And it's not my way to let them lead me astray
 It's only that I want to believe
But I see love-hungry people
 Trying their best to survive
 While in their hands is a dying romance
 And they're not even trying to keep it alive
So what's the glory in leaving
 Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore
 And if love never lasts forever
 Tell me what's forever for
