[verse: 1]
|Bsus4                  C#m7                  |Asus2   |     |
   Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by
|Bsus4              |C#m7              |Asus2    |    |
   You never get to stop and open your eyes
|Bsus4               |C#m7               |Asus2   |     |
   One day you're waiting for the sky to fall
|Bsus4                    |C#m7                |Asus2  |Asus4  E   |
   And next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all

[chorus:]                                   / /   /  /
            |Bsus4      |C#m7     |Asus2  |Asus4  E   |
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
|Bsus4       |C#m7     |Asus2  |Asus4  E   |
 Lovers in a dangerous time

[verse: 2]
|Bsus4           |C#m7               |Asus2   |     |
   These fragile bodies of touch and taste
|Bsus4          |C#m7               |Asus2   |     |
   This vibrant skin this hair like lace
|Bsus4                 |C#m7        |Asus2   |     |
   Spirits open to the thrust of grace
|Bsus4           |C#m7             |Asus2  |Asus4  E   |
   Never a breath you can afford to waste

[chorus:]                                   / /   /  /
            |Bsus4      |C#m7     |Asus2  |Asus4  E   |
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
|Bsus4       |C#m7     |Asus2  |Asus4  E   |
 Lovers in a dangerous time

When you're lovers in a dangerous time

 Lovers in a dangerous time
