Intro:
 (Play fig. 1)
                     ......If one could

C
Stop time, or make it up
                F                     C
If two could realize the best of luck
             Em           F
If I could locate a god above
                 G             Am
And you only wanted to be loved
                 Dm                 C
Then I'd try to hang on to the past
         F                  G
But you know that nothing, oh no nothing lasts


(Play fig.1)
Nothing lasts           .....It's time to

C
Move on, let the past go
            F                               C
I waited for you here, but you never showed
            Em                     F
Although I asked you to let me know
        G                   Am
I only felt a cold wind blow
                  Dm                C
While I tried to hang on to the past
         F                  G
But you know that nothing, oh no nothing lasts


(Play first four measures of fig. 1)

Am                 C
Nothing's in your way
            F                             G
Now you can stand right up and run
Am             C
Wouldn't even change things
       F                     Am
If you took back what you've done
                Dm                  C
I have tried to hang on to the past
       F               G
But I couldn't keep my grasp, cause nothing lasts


(Play the first four measures of fig.1 3X)
  Nothing lasts

(Play four measures of C, and end on Cmaj7)
  Nothing lasts
