[Verse 1]
[G]You[C] be[D]lon[G]g to the ages
Though [A]no one knows who you are
You've [C]given no [D]speeches,
nor [G]won any [D]wars[G]
[D]You [C]aren't a dip[D]lomat [G]settling [D]scores
[G]But I could never forget you
I'll [A]write your name next to mine
We'll [C]go down in [D]history
for [G]nothing at [C]all
[D]But a love never acted [G]upon

[Verse 2]
[G]I belong to the city
[D]I'll [A]never live by the shore
I like [C]bourbon [D]on ice every [G]now and again
And [C]I h[D]ope you partake
so this [G]friendship could end
[D]But [G]you never elect to
You [A]shake hands hello and goodbye
Yes, we'll [C]go down in his
[D]tory for [G]nothing at [C]all
But a [D]love never acted
[G]upon

[Verse 3]
[C]I'm not sug[D]gesting [G]that it
would feel natural
[C]Holding [D]your hand or a [G]kiss on your mouth
[C]But I can't help [D]wondering
[G]with every flirtation
[Am]What is it [A]you want? What's
this [D]friendship about?

[Verse 4]
[G]You belong to the sages
They pre[A]dicted you'd
never want more
You'd [C]settle for [D]years being
[G]careful and boring
Never [C]taking [D]a change,
it's your [G]heart you're ignoring
But I will never forget you
I've [A]written your name next to mine
Yes, we'll [C]go down his
[D]tory for [G]nothing at [C]all
[D]But a love never acted [G]upon
[C][D][G]
