Chords

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. G: 320033 Am7: x02010 Fmaj7: x33210 Gadd11: 32001x G Am7 Fmaj7 (x2 over bass solo) [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.

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]

  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.
