Gordon Lightfoot - Now And Then
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[INTRO:] C F C F Em
[VERSE 1:]
F C
I think this time
F Em Am D7/F#
You've said enough to make me want to leave this place
F Em Am
Still I keep coming back for more of the same
Dm7 G
To fan the dying flame
[VERSE 2:]
C Am C F D7/F#
Here inside these walls that seem to move a little closer every day
C G Am F
There must be a way out of this crazy game we play out to the end
C G
Let us just pretend a while
Am F C F Em
Think about the good things now and then
[VERSE 3:]
F C
I think this time
F Em Am D7/F#
That was the best time that we two had ever known
F Em Am
We tried the handle of the house upon the shore
Dm7 G
Found the open door
[VERSE 4:]
C Am C F D7/F#
Once inside we found a curious moonbeam doing dances on the floor
C G Am F
We were only playing like two children who had stayed away from school
C
Two of us could not be wrong
G Am F C F Em
Heaven knows who keeps the golden rule
[VERSE 5:]
F C
I think this time
F Em Am D7/F#
We've learned enough to know that nothing is the same
F Em Am
But still the pounding of my heart hasn't changed
Dm7 G
And leaving's so strange
[VERSE 6:]
C Am C F D7/F#
Here among my thoughts of you I find a gentle longing to be free
C G Am F
There must be a way out of this crazy game we play out to the end
C G
But take away the in-between
Am F D7/F#
Think about the good things now and then
[VERSE 7:]
C G Am F
We will see the day when you or I will stay or face up to the end
C G
Let us just pretend awhile
Am
And think about the good things now and then
