[INTRO] C F C F Em [VERSE 1]
             F     C
I think this time

             F                Em                 Am      D7/F#
You've said enough to make me want to leave this place

             F               Em          Am
Still I keep coming back for more of the same

   Dm7           G
To fan the dying flame
[VERSE 2]
C                 C/B                Am            C/G          F     D7/F#
Here inside these walls that seem to move a little closer every day

C                               G                             Am    F
There must be a way out of this crazy game we play out to the end

C                            G
Let us just pretend a while

                                    Am      F   C   F   Em
Think about the good things now and then
[VERSE 3]
             F     C
I think this time

             F                 Em           Am      D7/F#
That was the best time that we two had ever known

             F             Em             Am
We tried the handle of the house upon the shore

Dm7            G
Found the open door
[VERSE 4]
C              C/B             Am             C/G           F       D7/F#
Once inside we found a curious moonbeam doing dances on the floor

C                             G                                 Am      F
We were only playing like two children who had stayed away from school

C
Two of us could not be wrong

G                                 Am      F   C   F   Em
Heaven knows who keeps the golden rule
[VERSE 5]
             F     C
I think this time

               F                  Em             Am     D7/F#
We've learned enough to know that nothing is the same

              F              Em           Am
But still the pounding of my heart hasn't changed

    Dm7          G
And leaving's so strange
[VERSE 6]
C             C/B               Am            C/G           F      D7/F#
Here among my thoughts of you I find a gentle longing to be free

C                               G                             Am    F
There must be a way out of this crazy game we play out to the end

    C                          G
But take away the in-between

                                    Am     F   D7/F#
Think about the good things now and then
[VERSE 7]
C                               G                             Am    F
We will see the day when you or I will stay or face up to the end

C                            G
Let us just pretend awhile

                                          A
And think about the good things now and then
