[Intro 1]
[G][A][Bm][G][A][G]
[D]As

[Verse 1]
surely as
[A]the[D] cou[A]ntdown beg[D]ins
Our [G]time is [A]not [G]our [A]own
[D]Already [A]there's the
breath of the [D]wind
Which [G]bleaches [D]ever [A]bones
Of the [G]deadlines we [D]set
Of the [G]jokes we don't get
[D]And forgetful[G]ness that fur[D]rows the bro[A]w
[G]No, I'll never [A]find a [Bm]better time
To [G]be alive than [Asus4]now[A]
So I [D]wake up [A]to a re[Bm]mainder [D]of a dream of person[G]ality,
and posture, and face.
[A]For [D]nothing can re[A]main, [Bm]as i[D]t seems,
in [G]some perfect [D]state of [A]the grace.
All we [G]prize and pro[D]tect,
only [G]cause and ef[F#m]fect,
But I sus[G]pect the farrow may
be [D]guiding the [A]plough.
And [G]I'll never [A]find a [Bm]better
time to [G]be alive than now
[D]To [G]be alive than now

[Verse 2]
No [E]better, [B]no worse, much the same
We [A]wait on the [B]why [E]and [A]the when
[B]No ques[E]tion, [B]but we'll [A]go [C#m]as we cam[E]e
[B]With no shi[A]ft in the sha[E]pe of the
[B]Zen
And it [A]is as it [E]is, and [A]we take as we [E]find
Always [A]next season's [E]buds on the [B]buy
But [A]I'll never [B]find a [C#m]better time
[A]Hard though it [B]is to al[C#m]low
[A]I'll never [B]find a [C#m]better time to [A]be alive
than [B]now[E][B][C#m][E][A][E]
[B]
[F#m]This i[A]s the life, [B]and we've only t[C#m]ime to be aliv[A]e,
right [E]now[Bsus4][B]
Right now
you
