Version 1Lovers 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. Capo 4th fret G Am F Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by G Am F You never get to stop and open your eyes G Am F One day you're waiting for the sky to fall G Am F And next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all G Am F When you're lovers in a dangerous time G Am F Lovers in a dangerous time G Am F These fragile bodies of touch and taste G Am F This vibrant skin, this hair like lace G Am F Spirits open to the thrust of grace G Am F Never a breath you can afford to waste G Am F When you're lovers in a dangerous time G Am F Lovers in a dangerous time G Am F When you're lovers in a dangerous time G Am F Lovers in a dangerous time G Am F When you're lovers in a dangerous time G Am F Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime G Am F But nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight G Am F You gotta kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight G Am F When you're lovers in a dangerous time G Am F Lovers in a dangerous time G Am F When you're lovers in a dangerous time G Am F Lovers in a dangerous time LOVERS IN A DANGEROUS TIME by Bruce Cockburn B 024400 C#m 046600 Amaj9 002200 B C#m Amaj9 B C#m Amaj9 B C#m Amaj9 Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by B C#m Amaj9 You never get to stop and open your eyes B C#m Amaj9 One day you're waiting for the sky to fall B C#m Amaj9 And next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all B C#m Amaj9 E When you're lovers in a dangerous time B C#m Amaj9 E Lovers in a dangerous time These fragile bodies of touch and taste This vibrant skin this hair like lace Spirits open to the thrust of grace Never a breath you can afford to waste When you're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time When you're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time INSTRUMENTAL: (SLOW) B C#m Asus2 F#m7 E B C#m Asus2 B C#m Asus2 F#m7 E B C#m Asus2 When you're lovers in a dangerous time Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight Got to kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight When you're lovers in a dangerous time When you're lovers in a dangerous time When you're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time
