Verse 1
[G] [D] [G]
Nothing is so good it lasts eternally,
[Em] [D] [C]
perfect situations must go wrong.
[G] [D] [C]
But this has never yet prevented me,
[Am] [G] [C] [D] [Cm]
from wanting far too much, for far too long.
Verse 2
[G] [D] [G]
Looking back, I could have done it differently,
[Em] [D] [C]
won a few more moments, who can tell?
[G] [D] [C]
But it took time to understand the man,
[Am] [G] [C] [D]
now at least I know, I know him well.
Chorus
[G]
Wasn't it good (wasn't it good)?
[C]
Wasn't it fine (wasn't it fine)?
[Cm] [G] [E] [Am]
Isn't it madness? He can't be mine.
[G] [D] [Em] [A]
But in the end, he needs a little bit more than before,
[G] [D] [C]
Security (he needs his fantasy and freedom)
[D] [G] [Cm] [G] [D] [D]
I know him so well!
Verse 3
[G] [D] [G]
No one in your life is with you constantly,
[Em] [D] [C]
no one is completely on your side.
[G] [D] [C]
And though I move my world to be with him,
[Am] [G] [C] [D] [Cm] [F]
still the gap between us is too wide.
Verse 4
[G] [D] [G]
Looking back, I could've played it differently,
[Em] [D] [C]
learned about the man before I fell.
[G] [D] [C]
But I was ever so much younger then,
[Am] [G] [C] [D]
now at least I know, I know him well.
Chorus
[G]
Wasn't it good (oh, so good)?
[C]
Wasn't it fine (so fine)?
[Cm] [G]
Isn't it madness? He can't be mine.
Bridge
[Am] [Em]
Didn't I know, how it would go?
[E]
If I knew from the start
[D] [G]
Why am I falling apart?
[C]
Wasn't it fine (so fine)?
[Cm] [G] [E] [Am]
Isn't it madness? He can't be mine.
[G] [D] [Em] [A]
But in the end, he needs a little bit more than before,
[G] [D] [C]
Security (he needs his fantasy and freedom)
[D] [G]
I know him so well!
Outro
[Cm] [G] [A]
It took some time to understand him
[D] [G]
Ooh, I know him so well.
