If/Then - Love While You Can

      [Intro]
Em Em9 C Cmaj9

[Verse 1]
      Em         Gmaj7       C
We’re none of us getting any younger
        G                Asus2 Am
You can feel the time go by
      Em             Gmaj7             C
  And maybe we can't lose our hurt and anger
        G                  Asus2
But God damn it all, let's try
A    D
  We planned a better day
    G                    D/F#
But planets turn one way
   Em              Gmaj7    G
So though it seems unlike me, girls,
C              Csus2
this is what I say

[Chorus]
Am7               C
Love wherever and whenever
    G           Dsus4
And however you should
    Am7           C
Yes marriage is a bastard
    G              B7
But love is always good
     Em
It’s nothing you prepare for
     Em7              A7sus  A
It’s nothing that you plan
G    C                    Csus2
  So love when this world lets you
Cmaj9               Em  Em9 C
     Love while you can

[Verse 2]
Cmaj9    Em              Gmaj7              C
     Our love belongs to everyone who loves us
        G                Asus2  Am
So it’s not just you and me
    Em                Bm7             C(add9)
And we both know love doesn't make us perfect
        G               Asus4
It just makes us want to be
A    D(add9)
  If what we had before
   Gsus2         D/F#
Is broken on the floor
       Em              Gmaj7  G
We can see the way the pieces work,
    C                 Csus2
and make it something more

[Chorus 2]
Cmaj9    Am11          Cmaj9
     And love wherever and whenever
   Gadd2      Dsus4 D
And however we feel
    Am11           Cmaj9
Let anger clean the cut out
    Gadd2        B7sus4
Let love help us heal
B7     Em
  It’s not the love we dreamed of
Em9          A7sus4 A
Back when we began
G    Cmaj9              C
 But love if your heart lets you
Cmaj9          G
Love while you can

[Bridge]
A              A7(no 3) D    A
 I believe our fate     will find us
     Asus4                  A    Asus4 G
I believe that we get but one true love
A         A7(no 3) D      A
  I believe in     seeing signs,
A       Asus4      A             A7(no 3) A
and I believe and trust the stars above
B                 B7(no 3)  E   B
 And I thought you believed in me
         Bsus4                  B
That deep down we were meant to be
E     Esus2,4      E
 I try to let that go
E           D6/9     E
 But I can't let you go
Cmaj13
      and then these feelings flow
Fmaj7                    F6/9 Fmaj9
     I still love you so

[Chorus 3]
   Bm7               D
So love wherever and whenever
    A            Esus4
And however love lives
     Bm7                 D
It’s fear that hides the heart away
     A         C#7sus4
It’s love that forgives
   F#m            F#msus2,4
It wasn’t that we dreamed of
   F#m7   A      Bsus4   B
It wasn’t in the plan
A    D                 Dsus2
 But love the way love finds you
D(add9) Dmaj9          A
        Love while you can

[Outro]
                 A
Love and keep on living
        D6/9           Esus4
When the shit hits the fan
Amaj9
 Love and be forgiving
      D6/9
Oh, my Kate
   Esus4   C#
My Anne...
F#m7                       Amaj9  D
 Love while this world lets you
Dmaj9       E7  A(add4)
 Love while you can

[Ending]
