[capo 1st fret]
      A  D  /  /  /  A  /  /  D  /  /  E  /  /  /
       x2
     BeyAond the tears, beG#mhind her C#7eyes
     She fF#meels the need to BmrationaC#7lise
     To caDtch the thought that caAn't be caught and hBmold it fDor a whAile
     BeyAond the fears, beG#mhind her C#7lies
     She F#msees the truth but sBmtill she tC#7ries
     To hDold on fast to drAeams that last no lBmonger thDan a smAile
     IAt's nDot Em7on, too mGuch has cAome betwDeen us, too mC#uch has F#mgone
     And Din our hearts we bAoth knEow that it's just not Aon
      A  D  Em7  /  /  /  G  /  A  /  D  /  /
     Aaaah.....          aah   aah   aah
     The fC#eeling's gF#mone
     And Din our hearts we bAoth knEow that it's just not Aon
      A  D  /  /  /  A  /  /  D  /  /  E  /  /  /
       x2
     It's fAunny how as G#mtime goes C#7by
     Some F#mfeelings grow while Bmothers C#7die
     But wDho are we to dAisagree with wBmhat our heDarts dictAate
     And oAnly fools who G#mdare igC#7nore
     The F#mempty hours that Bmlie in sC#7tore
     For thDose who strive to kAeep alive too lBmittle lDove too lAate
     IAt's nDot Em7on, too mGuch has cAome betwDeen us, too mC#uch has F#mgone
     And Din our hearts we bAoth knEow that it's just not Aon

     Aaaah.....          aah   aah   aah

It's Not On (Justin Hayward)

[capo 1st fret]

A D / / / A / / D / / E / / /

A G#m C#7

Beyond the tears, behind her eyes

F#m Bm C#7

She feels the need to rationalise

D A Bm D A

To catch the thought that can't be caught and hold it for a while

A G#m C#7

Beyond the fears, behind her lies

F#m Bm C#7

She sees the truth but still she tries

D A Bm D A

To hold on fast to dreams that last no longer than a smile

A D Em7 G A D C# F#m

It's not on, too much has come between us, too much has gone

D A E A

And in our hearts we both know that it's just not on

A D Em7 / / / G / A / D / /

Aaaah..... aah aah aah

C# F#m

The feeling's gone

D A E A

And in our hearts we both know that it's just not on

A D / / / A / / D / / E / / /

A G#m C#7

It's funny how as time goes by

F#m Bm C#7

Some feelings grow while others die

D A Bm D A

But who are we to disagree with what our hearts dictate

A G#m C#7

And only fools who dare ignore

F#m Bm C#7

The empty hours that lie in store

D A Bm D A

For those who strive to keep alive too little love too late

A D Em7 G A D C# F#m

It's not on, too much has come between us, too much has gone

D A E A

And in our hearts we both know that it's just not on

A D Em7 / / / G / A / D / /

Aaaah..... aah aah aah

C# F#m

The feeling's gone

D A E A

And in our hearts we both know that it's just not on

A D / / / A / / D / / E / / /

A D / / / A / / D / / E

No it's just not on
