(Original Key: B)
Intro:
G Gdim, Am7 F7 (x2)
Verse 1:
G
I've always come to,
Gdim
The conclusion,
Am7 D7
That 'but' is the way.
Bbmaj7 G7
Of asking for per-mission,
To lay something heavy,
C
On ones head.
G
So I have tried to;
Gdim
Not be the one who'll,
Am7 D7
Fall into that line.
Am7 D7
But what I feel in-side;
G7#5
I think you should know.
And baby that's;
Chorus 1:
C C/B Am7
You, you, you,
Em E+ Em7 Adim
Made life's his-to-ry,
F7
'Cos you've brought,
G7#5 C G7#5
Some joy inside my tears.
C C/B Am7
And you have done,
Em E+ Em7 Adim
What no one thought could be;
F7
You've brought,
G7#5 C Am Dm7
Some joy inside my tears.
Verse 2:
G
I've always felt that,
Gdim
To-morrow is for those,
Am7 D7
Who are too too much a-fraid.
Bbmaj7 G7
To go past yester-day,
C
And start living for today.
G
I feel that lasting,
Gdim
Moments are coming,
Am7 D7
Few and far be-tween.
Am7
So I should tell you,
D7
Of the happiness,
G7#5
That you bring.
Baby it's;
Chorus 2:
