Intro: C  
Don't look so Dmsad, GI know it's Cover
But life goes Dmon, and this old GWorld will keep on Cturning
Let's just be gFlad we had some Gtime to spend tCogether
There's no Dmneed to watch the bridges that we're Gburning
Lay your Chead upon my Gpillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to Cmine
Hear the whCisper of the rC7aindrops falling Fsoft against the Fmwindow 
And Dmmake believe you love me one more Gtime
For the Cgood times
I'll get aloDmng, Gyou'll find aCnother
And I'll be Dmhere if you shoulGd find you ever Cneed me
Don't say a Fword about toGmorrow or foCrever
There'll be Dmtime enough for sadness when you Gleave me
Lay your hCead upon my pGillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mCine
Hear the whiCsper of the C7raindrops falling Fsoft against the Fmwindow 
And maDmke believe you love me one more Gtime
For the gCood times

The story behind the song

This song is one of many in his extensive catalog, showcasing the artistry of a man known for his "Man in Black" stage presence.
