Yo la Tengo-By the Time it gets Dark chords
Start Jamming...
Baby, [F#m] every cloud [E] has a silver lining.
Baby, [A] every dog really has [E] its day.
And it [A] matters to me to see [E] you smiling.
Why don't [A] we blow all your cares away?
[B]
Yesterday [A] is gone and will be [E] forgotten.
And [A] today is where every new [B] day starts.
[E] Got to be [A] free, life believes [E] in honor.
You [A] may be sad, but it [B] never lasts.
And maybe, [G#m] by the evening [A] we'll be laughing.
[E]
Just wait and see, all the changes [B] they'll be.
[A] By the time [E] it gets dark, [B]
we could [F#m] go out walking [A] out in [E] the sunshine.
Look at [A] all the people out in [E] the street.
[A] Hurrying away to a business [E] luncheon.
Waiting [A] for a taxi for aking [B] fee.
Light up your [A] face, baby, let's get [B] going.
Want to see [F#m] a change [E] in those weary [B] eyes?
Well, that's [A] some fun, take a boat out [B] rowing.
[A] Why on earth should life be so [E] serious?
[B] And maybe, [E] by the evening we'll [A] be laughing.
[B]
Just wait and see, all the changes they'll be.
[A] By the time it [E] gets dark.
And [E] maybe, by the evening we'll [A] be laughing.
[B] Just wait and see, all the changes they'll be.
[A] By the time it gets [B] dark.
[F#m] [A] By the time it [B] gets dark.
[A] By the time it [B] gets dark.
[F#m] [A] By the time it [E] gets dark.
