C Cmaj7 Fmaj7 C x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
C      Cmaj7        Fmaj7      C
I can’t stand by and see you destroyed,
C       Cmaj7        Fmaj7     C
I can’t be here and watch you burn up,
C            Cmaj7      Fmaj7     C
Lie for the moment,   lie as a decoy,
C         Cmaj7       Fmaj7     C
Does it matter if I give in easy?
Fmaj7                       G
So why is it so hard to get by?
 
 
[Chorus]
G
And I said…
Fmaj7   G       Em           Fmaj7
We so down, It’s now or never baby,
Fmaj7   G      Em           Fmaj7
We don’t mind, if this don’t last forever,
Fmaj7   G      Em           Fmaj7
See the light. Cos this won’t last forever,
Fmaj7   G       Em           Fmaj7
Seize the time, cos it’s now or never baby,
 
 
[Verse 2]
C         Cmaj7         Fmaj7               C
Let’s leave at sunrise, let’s live by the ocean,
C           Cmaj7       Fmaj7     C
And I don’t mind if we never come home at all,
C         Cmaj7     Fmaj7        C
Steal the morning, so set in the motion,
C     Cmaj7     Fmaj7        C
In and out of love and institutions,
Fmaj7                             G
Cause I know this can't last for long
 
 
[Chorus]
G
And I said…
Fmaj7   G       Em           Fmaj7
We so down, It’s now or never baby,
Fmaj7   G      Em           Fmaj7
We don’t mind, if this don’t last forever,
Fmaj7   G      Em           Fmaj7
See the light. Cos this won’t last forever,
Fmaj7   G       Em           Fmaj7
Seize the time, cos it’s now or never baby,

In my opinion Em works better than Cmaj7 in the verse.

In the verse I hear C, Em, Fmaj7, C In the bridge I hear D, G7 In the chorus I hear Fmaj7, G6, Em, Am Basicly the whole song just "pounds" away at the E note -- except for the bridge. IMHO

Your missing a line in chorus, plus the solo would be good, but this is a good tab :)
