        Fm
When we kiss

That way
  C#maj7     
I search for words

That might explain
	Fm
How can a love

Go so deep

It'll always be a part of me

If we stay together

Written in stone

why I feel this way

It goes on
	Asus2/F
So strong
	C#maj7
Like a solid rock,
		     D#
even when the moment's gone

BRIDGE 2

Nothin' lasts forever

I know

Love is getting better

The moon may not shine one night
C#maj7             A#7sus4/11    Cm7/11
But I know just how the story goes
      A#m7/9     C#maj7
It is written in stone

Written in stone

The sun is in the sky

just like it was yesterday

The sun will someday lose its light

But your heart will never be alone

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.
