When we kiss
That way
I search for words
That might explain
How can a love
Go so deep
Girl, it's in my blood
It'll always be a part of me
If we stay together
Cmadd11 /9/
or if we go our separate ways
+add11 /
I know
Love will last forever
/11 /11
The sun may someday lose its light
Cmaj7 A#7sus4/11 A#m7/9
The moon may not shine one night
/11 /11
But your heart will always have a home
/9
It is written in stone
Written in stone
Seasons go by
and minds have changed
but I will never doubt
why I feel this way
It goes on
So strong
Like a solid rock,
even when the moment's gone
Nothin' lasts forever
Cmadd11 /9/
but one thing's sure to stay the same
+add11 /
I know
Love is getting better
/11 /11
The sun will someday lose its light
Cmaj7 A#7sus4/11 A#m7/9
The moon may not shine one night
/11 /11
But I know just how the story goes
/9
It is written in stone
Written in stone
True love is timeless
and unconditional
you don't need to read or write at all
I can see the future
Happiness won't fade away
The sun is in the sky
just like it was yesterday
(heeeeee . . . )
/11 /11
The sun will someday lose its light
Cmaj7 A#7sus4/11 A#m7/9
The moon may not shine one night
/11 /11
But your heart will never be alone
/9
It is written in stone
Written in stone
POST-CHORUS - This starts immediately after "CHORUS 3," with Daryl's "God, true love is
timeless . . ." After "CHORUS 3" just strum the chord progression of the choruses over
and over again until the end of the song.
NOTE: This is a beautiful song - although there isn't a lick of guitar in the track, this
arrangement should capture the essential sound and feel, especially on an acoustic.
If "INTRO" makes no sense, just ignore it.
