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.

[Verse]
G Am7 Fmaj7
Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by?
G Am7 Fmaj7
We never get to stop and open our eyes.
G Am7 Fmaj7
One minute you're waiting for the sky to fall
G Am7 Fmaj7
Next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all.
[Chorus]
G Am7 Fmaj7
Lovers in a dangerous time (x2 album; x1 live)
[Verse]
G Am7 Fmaj7
These fragile bodies of touch and taste
G Am7 Fmaj7
This fragrant skin, this hair like lace
G Am7 Fmaj7
Spirits open to thrust of grace,
G Am7 Fmaj7
Never a breath you can't afford to waste.
[Chorus]
G Am7 Fmaj7
Lovers in a dangerous time (x4)
Gadd11Am7Fmaj7
(x4 over bass solo)
[Verse]
G Am7 Fmaj7
When you're lovers in a dangerous time,
G Am7 Fmaj7
Sometimes you're made to feel as if your loves a crime.
G Am7 Fmaj7
Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight
G Am7 Fmaj7
You gotta kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight.
[Chorus]
G Am7 Fmaj7
Lovers in a dangerous time (x4)
G Am7 Fmaj7
[Outro]
G Am7 Fmaj7
We were lovers in a dangerous time
G Am7 Fmaj7
We were lovers in a dangerous time
G Am7 Fmaj7
Lo-o-overs, Lo-o-overs, Lo-o-overs
G Am7 Fmaj7
Woah-oh, Oo-woah, Woah-oh
G Am7 Fmaj7 G
Lo-o-overs in a dangerous time, Woah-oh, Oh-oh
