Now and Then

Capo II

(C) (C/b) (Am) (Am/g) (F) (C)

(C) If you thought that (C/b) I was brave

(Am) To look into your (D7) eyes that way

I (C) never (C/b) had a (Am) thing to (Am/g) say

(F) You know I just (C) arrived

And I was only half this bad

Before I knew the joys we had

So don’t be angry, don’t be sad

If nothing should survive

(E7) And if you still (Am) decide to call

I (F) hope that you (C) remember when

(E7) You stood outside the (Am) paper wall

(F) Long enough to (G) count to ten

And I (C) can’t (C/b) explain (Am) without a (Am/g) lie

What (F) happens when you (C) die

All these words so new to me

Are they supposed to set us free  

I don’t believe in liberty

I just believe in life

How could something perfect change

To something less and back again

And in between have all this pain

Because we’re asking why

And when at times I hide away

I swear there’s nothing more to do

I swear there’s nothing more to say

I’m only here to be with you

And all the rest to be here too

If only we could stay
