Only For A While Chords by Anita Baker

_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [A] _
_ _ _ [G] _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ For a little while, _ [Bm] we know what heartache is, [B] and we feel the pain the world can [A] sometimes bring.
_ [Dbm] For a little while, _ [Gbm] we're crying, but now [E] _
[B] there's not a single [D] song to [E] sing.
[G] [A] But one [G] day _ [D] it'll change, [Bm] there'll be no more [A] _ [F] [Gbm] stormy rain.
_ [Bm]
And at last, [D] we will [E] rest _ [A] _
[Bm] forevermore.
_ [A] _ [E] So [Gbm] if you're in the valley, if your [E] _ _ life is [A] so unkind,
_ [E] _ _ [Gbm] And if your [Bm] tears keep falling _ [Gb] _ from [E] your [A] tired [E] [D] eyes,
_ [A] _ [E] It [Gbm] could have seemed so _ _ [E] heavy now,
And it's [Em] hard to smile, [B] _ [Gb] but _ [Bm]
remember, _ [Gbm] _ _ [E] it's only [A] for a [D] while.
_ [A] _ _ _ [Bb] For a little while, [Eb] you lose someone you love, [Ebm] and you miss the time together that [Bb] you shared.
[F] _ [Dm] For a little while, [Gm] you feel all alone [F] and _ [C] scared.
[Eb] _ _ [Dm] _ [Cm] [Ab] With [Eb] no _ one home, [Cm] all the nights get [F] [Gb] long [Gm] and cold,
[Cm]
[Bb] But it won't last, [Eb] it will [F] pass [Bb] in time.
[Cm] _ [Bb] So _ [F] [Gm] if you're [F] in the [Eb] valley, if your [F] life is [F] _ [Bb] so unkind,
_ [Gm] _ _ And if your tears [Cm] keep _ _ [Eb] falling from [F] your [Bb] tired eyes,
It could have _ _ [F] [Gm] seemed [Eb]
so heavy _ [F] now,
_ _ [D] _
[Fm] _ And it's hard to smile, _ [G] _ _ [Cm] _
_ [Bb] _ [Eb] _ _ _ [F] but remember, [Bb] _
_ [Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ [Gm] _ [Eb] _

_ _ [Bb] _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Cm] _ [Bb]
it's [F] only for a [Bb] while.
[Gm] _ _
[G] Oh yes, [Cm] remember, _ _ [F] _
it's [Gm] only for a while.
