Capo 1
Waltz(in 6/8 time)
Intro:  A  A  D  D  A  A  D  D

A               A            E7              E7
These times are troubled and these times are good
            D            D        D             D-A
And they're always gonna be, they rise and they fall
   A                E7          E7
We take 'em all the way that we should
  D                    D           D-A
Together you and me forsaking them all
F#m         F#m       E7              E7
Deep in the night and by the light of day
     D              D          D           D-A
It always looks the same, true love always does
    A            A          E7/G#         E7/G#
And here by your side, or a million miles away
         D                     D
Nothin's ever gonna change the way I feel,
    D                 D           A
The way it is, is the way that it was

     A        E7    E7           Bm            D
When I said I do, I meant that I will 'til the end of all
D-A
time

   A            E7      E7       Bm
Be faithful and true, devoted to you
            Bm       D         D        A    A    D    D
That's what I had in mind when I said I do

     A                    A                 E7
Well this old world keeps changin', and the world stays the
E7
same
    D              D            D             D-A
For all who came before, and it goes hand and hand
A                  A    E7            E7
Only you and I can undo all that we became
     D                D            D           D-A
That makes us so much more, than a woman and a man
F#m            F#m        E7              E7
And after everything that comes and goes around
    D              D        D            D-A
Has only passed us by, here alone in our dreams
  A              A              E7/G#           E7/G#
I know there's a lonely heart in every lost and found
    D                      D
But forever you and I will be the ones
    D                 D    A
Who found out what forever means.

     A        E7    E7           Bm            D
When I said I do, I meant that I will 'til the end of all
D-A
time
   A            E7      E7       Bm
Be faithful and true, devoted to you
            Bm       D         D        A
That's what I had in mind when I said I do
           C#                       F#m                 Bm*
Truer than true, you know that I'll always be there for you
            Bm*                        Dm*
That's what I had in mind, that's what I had in mind,
                 A*       C*        D*        A*
When I said I do.
