Lovers in a Dangerous Time by BNL
I've seen a couple versions of this song out there but most incorrectly have a
capo on the third fret. There's a good clip of Ed on Youtube playing with a capo
on 2 and the chords are pretty easy to make out. Hammer on and pull off the middle
finger on the G-string when playing the Fmaj7 to get the riff right.
(capo on 2)
G: 320033
Am7: x02010
Fmaj7: x33210
Gadd11: 32001x
G   Am7   Fmaj7(x2 over bass solo)
[Verse]
GDon't the hours grow Am7shorter as the days go Fmaj7by?
GWe never get to Am7stop and open our Fmaj7eyes.
GOne minute you're Am7waiting for the sky to fFmaj7all
GNext you're dazzled by the Am7beauty of it alFmaj7l.
[Chorus]
GLovAm7ers in a dangerous Fmaj7time (x2 album; x1 live)
[Verse]
GThese fragile Am7bodies of touch and tasFmaj7te
GThis fragrant Am7skin, this hair like laFmaj7ce
GSpirits Am7open to thrust of graFmaj7ce,
GNever a breAm7ath you can't afford to waFmaj7ste.
[Chorus]
GLovAm7ers in a dangerous Fmaj7time (x4)
Gadd11   Am7   Fmaj7(x4 over bass solo)
[Verse]
GWhen you're Am7lovers in a dangerous tiFmaj7me,
GSometimes you're made to feel Am7as if your loves a crFmaj7ime.
GNothing worth having comes withAm7out some kind of fiFmaj7ght
GYou gotta kick at the daAm7rkness till it bleeds daFmaj7ylight.
[Chorus]
GLovAm7ers in a dangerous Fmaj7time (x4)
G Am7 Fmaj7
[Outro]
GWe were lAm7overs in a dangerous tiFmaj7me
GWe were lAm7overs in a dangerous tiFmaj7me
Lo-o-Govers, Lo-o-Am7overs, Lo-o-Fmaj7overs
Woah-Goh, Oo-woAm7ah, Woah-Fmaj7oh
Lo-o-Govers in a Am7dangerous tFmaj7ime, Woah-oh, Oh-Goh
