For Now

C
Sometimes I think about the ones that we’ve replaced
         Am      G                         F
All the millions underneath the burnt and waste
C
And I get sad because of course we’ll be the same
        Am     G                  F
All of history collapsing in its wake


[Chorus]

F                             C     G
Maybe it’s enough that I have laid here
F                             C                G
Maybe it’s enough that I have known inside my head, and
F                              Am             G
Maybe it’s enough to know that we were here together
F                   G
And that we are the ones
C          Am
We are the ones
F          G          C
We are the ones for now


[Verse 2]

C
I heard that someday when they look up at the night
            Am            G                   F
They’ll see nothing but a black and starless sky
C
And they’ll tell stories of some old and callow time
            Am         G                    F
Claiming spectacles of brilliant burning lights


[Chorus]

F                             C     G
Maybe it’s enough that I have laid here
F                             C                G
Maybe it’s enough that I have known inside my head, and
F                              Am             G
Maybe it’s enough to know that we were here together
F                   G
And that we are the ones
C          Am
We are the ones
F          G          C
We are the ones for now


[Verse 3]

C
So maybe this is what it takes to realize
     Am                 G             F
I am grateful just that I have been alive
C
And I’ll be happy if I look back on my life
        Am              G              F
Been a sister, been a mother, been a wife


[Chorus]

F                             C     G
Maybe it’s enough that I have laid here
F                             C                G
Maybe it’s enough that I have known inside my head, and
F                              Am            G
Maybe it’s enough to know that we were here together
F                   G
And that we are the ones
C          Am
We are the ones
F          G          C
We are the ones for now
