Chords

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.
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
