Chorus:
Gmaj7 D
If not now then when
Gmaj7 D
If now today then
Bm A F#m G
Why make your promises
D Bm A F#m G
A love declared for days to come
A
Is as good as none
A G
You can wait 'til morning comes
Bm
You can wait for the new day
G
You can wait and lose this heart
A
You can wait and soon be sorry
Chorus:
Cause if not now, then when?
If not today, then
Why make your promises?
A love declared for days to come
Is as good as none
Now love's the only thing that's free
We must take it where it's found
Pretty soon it may be costly
Chorus:
Cause if not now, then when?
If not today, then
Why make your promises?
A love declared for days to come
Is as good as none
If not now, what then
We all must live our lives
Always feeling, always thinking
The moment has arrived
