[Verse]
             G    D           G                 Gbm                Bm   
I think this time you've said enough to make me want to leave this place
E            G               Gbm         Bm      Em            A    
Still I keep coming back for more of the same to fan the dying flame


[Chorus]
D                                    Bm7           D            G  
Here inside these walls that seem to move a little closer every day
D                               A                             Bm  G
There must be a way out of this crazy game we play out to the end ■
D                          
Let us just pretend a while
A                                   Bm  
Think about the good things now and then
G D G Gbm

[Verse]
             G    D            G                 Gbm          Bm    D
I think this time that was the best time that we two had ever known ■
E            G             Gbm7           Bm        Em             A   
We tried the handle of the house upon the shore and found the open door


[Chorus]
D                              Bm             D             G    
Once inside we found a curious moonbeam doing dances on the floor
D                             A                                 Bm7    G
We were only playing like two children who had stayed away from school ■
D                           
Two of us could not be wrong
A                                 Bm  
Heaven knows who keeps the golden rule
G D G Gbm

[Verse]
        G    D                  G                   Gbm            Bm  
I think this time we've learned enough to know that nothing is the same
E               G              Gbm          Bm          Em          A       A7
■ But still the pounding of my heart hasn't changed and leavin's so strange ■ 


[Chorus]
D             Dmaj7             Bm7                         G   
Here among my thoughts of you I find a gentle longing to be free
D                               A                             Bm  G
There must be a way out of this crazy game we play out to the end ■
D                      
Take away the inbetween
A                                   Bm   G
Think about the good things now and then ■
D                               A                             Bm  G
We will see the day when you or I will stay or face up to the end ■
D                          
Let us just pretend a while
A                                       Bm  
And think about the good things now and then
