Did I [A]ever take you in my [F#m]arms
Look you in the [C#m]eye, tell you that I [D]do?

CHORUS
If I never [Bm]did it,[E] I was only [A]waiting[F#m7]
For a better [Bm]moment[E] that didn't [A]come
There never [Bm]could be[E] a better [A]moment[F#m7]
Than [B5]this [E]one, this [A]one
The swan is g[Bm]liding[E] above the [A]ocean[F#m7]

How calm the [Bm]water[E] and bright the [A]rainbow[F#m7]

[D] What oppor[E]tunities did [A]we allow to [F#m]flow by
