[Intro]
D5
(keyboard, freely)[Verse 1]
Gmaj7 You can keep the good times A6 Righteousness D Em9 The best parting line Gmaj7 Rather then pretend we A6 Are A1 D Em9 Ultrafine Gmaj7 Shall I be the first then A6 To say what D Em9 We have found Gmaj7 There's something in our lifetime A6 Won't let us D Em9 Settle down
[Chorus]
F# Bm G Em Darling it's a life of surprises F# Bm G Em It's no help growing older or wiser F# Bm G Em You don't have to pretend you're not crying F# Bm G | Em | % | When it's even in the way that you're walking (Never ...)
[Verse 2]
Gmaj7 Never let your conscience A6 Be harmful D Em9 To your health Gmaj7 Let no neurotic impulse A6 Turn inward D Em9 On itself Gmaj7 Just say that you were happy A6 As happy D Em9 Would allow Gmaj7 And tell yourself that A6 Will have to D Em9 Do for now
