C#maj7 D#
VERSE 1
Fm
When we kiss
Asus2/F
That way
C#maj7
I search for words
D#
That might explain
Fm
How can a love
Asus2/F
Go so deep
C#maj7
Girl, it's in my blood
D#
It'll always be a part of me
BRIDGE 1
A#m7
If we stay together
Cmadd11 D6/9/E
or if we go our separate ways
C+add11 C#/G#
I know
Cm7/G
Love will last forever
CHORUS 1
C#maj7 A#7sus4/11 Cm7/11
The sun may someday lose its light
C#maj7 A#7sus4/11 A#m7/9
The moon may not shine one night
C#maj7 A#7sus4/11 Cm7/11
But your heart will always have a home
A#m7/9 C#maj7
It is written in stone
C#maj7 Cm7
Written in stone
VERSE 2
Fm
Seasons go by
Asus2/F
and minds have changed
C#maj7
but I will never doubt
D#
why I feel this way
Fm
It goes on
Asus2/F
So strong
C#maj7
Like a solid rock,
D#
even when the moment's gone
BRIDGE 2
A#m7
Nothin' lasts forever
Cmadd11 D6/9/E
but one thing's sure to stay the same
C+add11 C#/G#
I know
Cm7/G
Love is getting better
CHORUS 2
C#maj7 A#7sus4/11 Cm7/11
The sun will someday lose its light
C#maj7 A#7sus4/11 A#m7/9
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
C#maj7 Cm7
Written in stone
BRIDGE 3
G#
True love is timeless
A#m7
and unconditional
C#m7 G#
you don't need to read or write at all
G#
I can see the future
A#m7
Happiness won't fade away
C#m7
The sun is in the sky
G# G#
just like it was yesterday
A#m7 C#m7
(heeeeee . . . )
G# Cm7
CHORUS 3
C#maj7 A#7sus4/11 Cm7/11
The sun will someday lose its light
C#maj7 A#7sus4/11 A#m7/9
The moon may not shine one night
C#maj7 A#7sus4/11 Cm7/11
But your heart will never be alone
A#m7/9 C#maj7
It is written in stone
C#maj7 Cm7
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.
