^B The calm that's ^D#m often bef ^E ore storms yet had ^F# broken
Like ^B two stars crossed ^D#m lovers a ^E bout to ^F# collide
And ^D#m then the ^E showers roll ^D#m in
The ^E magic beg ^D#m ins
It stops ^E time
Like ^F# it was eternal
^B We met at i ^D#m nfernal
Old ^E Dante's in ^F# ferno
That's ^B open down ^D#m town real ^E late for some ^F# coffee
At ^D#m nine were ^E talking ^D#m fine
Still ^E staring at ^D#m five
Stopped ^E time like ^F# it was eternal
^B Eterna ^D#m l ^{E F# B D#m E F#
D#m} I ^E finally ^D#m know there's o ^E ne place to ^D#m go
To ^E stop time
Like ^F# it was eternal
^B I waltz when I ^D#m mumble I ^E smile when I ^F# stumble
^B Upon some new ^D#m sweet thing wit ^E hout any ^F# trouble
And ^D#m then the ^E showers roll ^D#m in
The ^E magic beg ^D#m ins
It stops ^E time
Like ^F# it was eternal
^B Eterna ^D#m l ^{E F# B D#m E F#}
