Now And Forever (Music and Lyrics)

G  C/G  G  C/G
          
        G    D/F#     Em               Am           Em/G       D/F#
         Whenever I'm weary   from the battles that rage in my head,    
         You make sense of madness  when my sanity hangs by a thread,   

        C             B7                 Em     D       A7/C#       
         I lose my way but still you seem to understand,                
                 Am7     C/D     D        G  C/G                          
         Now and forever, I will be your man.                           
                                                                        
         Sometimes I just hold you  Too caught up in me to see,         
         I'm holding a fortune    that heaven has given to me,          
         I'll try to show you each and every way I can,                 
         Now and forever, I will be your man.                           
                                                                        
         B7           Em      C       G            D                    
         Now I can rest my worries and always be sure                   
        Em        C           G    D/F#  Em    C        G              D
         that I won't be alone anymore, if I'd only known you were there 
                     Am7            Cm(#7) Cm6
         all the time  all the time.
