Lovers In A Dangerous Time Chords

Lovers in a Dangerous Time
 
Actually, it's by Bruce Cockburn, but the ladies do a pretty decent version
of it too.  This is how I do the song, not the same key as Cockburn, but
you get the idea.
 
 
Capo 4th fret
 
 
G                    Am                     F
Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by
G                Am                 F
You never get to stop and open your eyes
G              Am                     F
One day you're waiting for the sky to fall
G                              Am           F
And next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all
 
 
            G      Am             F
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
G      Am             F
Lovers in a dangerous time
 
 
G             Am                  F
These fragile bodies of touch and taste
G            Am                   F
This vibrant skin, this hair like lace
G       Am                    F
Spirits open to the thrust of grace
G           Am                   F
Never a breath you can afford to waste
 
 
            G     Am              F
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
G      Am             F
Lovers in a dangerous time
            G     Am              F
When you're lovers in a  dangerous time
G      Am             F
Lovers in a dangerous time
 
G           Am                    F
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
G                                Am               F
Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime
G                              Am                   F
But nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight
G                     Am                         F
You gotta kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight
 
 
           G     Am               F
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
G      Am             F
Lovers in a dangerous time
           G     Am               F
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
G      Am             F
Lovers in a dangerous time
