Wild ambitions in our sights

How an affair of the heart survives
      C                D
Days apart and hurried nights

                C#m
Seems quite unbelievable to me
                Em
I don't want to live like that

I don't want to love like that

Playing games we can't all win

Unintended emotional crimes

Take some out, take others in

I'm so tired of all we're going through

I just want to be with you now and forever, peaceful, true

                    C
This may not be the moment
            G
To tell you face to face

We don't know whose words are true
           G      C#m        Em
Strangers, lovers, husbands, wives
        C                 D
Hard to know who's loving who

Too many choices tear us apart
                Em
I don't want to live like that
                 C#m
Too many choices tear us apart
                C
I don't want to love like that
