Maroon 5 – Nothing Lasts Forever

Standard Tuning:

Intro: D DM7 G

Verse 1:
D
It is so easy to see
DM7
Dysfunction between you and me
G
We must free up these tired souls
G
Before the sadness gets us both

D
I tried and tried to let you know
DM7
I love you but I’m letting go
G
It may not last but I don’t know
G
Just don’t know

D
If you don’t know, then you can’t care
DM7
And I show up, but you’re not there
G
But I’m waiting, and you want to
G
Still afraid that I will desert you

D
Everyday
DM7 D
With every word whispered we get more far away
DM7 G
The distance between us makes it so hard to stay
G
But nothing last forever, but be honest babe
Gm
It hurts but it may be the only way

(Same as 1st Verse)
A bed that’s warm with memories
Can heal us temporarily
The misbehaving all he makes
The ditch between us so damn deep

Built a wall around my heart
Never let it fall apart
Strangely I wish secretly
It won’t fall down while I’m asleep

If you don’t know, then you can’t care
And I show up, but you’re not there
But I’m waiting, and you want to
Still afraid that I will desert you, babe

Everyday
With every word whispered we get more far away
The distance between us makes it so hard to stay
But nothing last forever, but be honest babe
It hurts but it may be the only way

Em
But we have not hit the ground
G D Bm
Doesn’t mean we’re not still falling, oh
Em
I want so bad to pick you up
G D
But you’re still too reluctant to accept my help
Bm A
What a shame I hope you find somewhere to place the blame
A
But until then the fact remains

Chorus 2x
