Lovers in a Dangerous Time
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------##
Actually, it's by Bruce Cockburn, but the ladies do a pretty decent version
of it too. This is how I do the song, not the same key as Cockburn, but
you get the idea.
Lovers in a Dangerous Time
G Am9 F
Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by
G Am9 F
You never get to stop and open your eyes
G Am9 F
One day you're waiting for the sky to fall
G Am9 F
And next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all
G Am9 F
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
G Am9 F
Lovers in a dangerous time
G Am9 F
These fragile bodies of touch and taste
G Am9 F
This vibrant skin, this hair like lace
G Am9 F
Spirits open to the thrust of grace
G Am9 F
Never a breath you can afford to waste
G Am9 F
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
G Am9 F
Lovers in a dangerous time
G Am9 F
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
G Am9 F
Lovers in a dangerous time
G Am9 F
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
G Am9 F
Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime
G Am9 F
But nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight
G Am9 F
You gotta kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight
G Am9 F
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
G Am9 F
Lovers in a dangerous time
G Am9 F
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
G Am9 F
Lovers in a dangerous time
