Chords in this song6

Verse 1

I am here to tell you we can never meet again
Simple really, isn't it, a word or two and then
A lifetime of not knowing where or how or why or when
You think of me or speak of me or wonder what befell
The someone you once loved so long ago so well

Verse 2

Never wonder what I'll feel as living shuffles by 
You don't have to ask me and I need not reply
Every moment of my life from now until I die 
I will think or dream of you and fail to understand
How a perfect love can be confounded out of hand

Chorus

Is it written in the stars
Are we paying for some crime
Is that all that we are good for
Just a stretch of mortal time
Is this God's experiment
In which we have no say
In which we're given paradise
But only for a day

Verse 3

Nothing can be altered, there is nothing to decide 
No escape, no change of heart, nor anyplace to hide
You are all I'll ever want, but this I am denied 
Sometimes in my darkest thoughts, I wish I'd never learned
What it is to be in love and have that love returned

Chorus

Is it written in the stars
Are we paying for some crime
Is that all that we are good for
Just a stretch of mortal time
Is this God's experiment
In which we have no say
In which we're given paradise
But only for a day
