Not Today © Peter Ward 2017
[Intro]
G D G D Em C Em C D
[Verse 1]
G D
You can think about the years you’ve had
G D
What’s gone well and what went bad
Em C
The pressure can send you down
Em C D
Felt insecure when she was around
[Verse 2]
G D
You can think about the years ahead
G
Making less mistakes what to do instead
Em C
Confusion what are you going to do
Em C D
With the hurdles facing you
G C G D G C D
Ah but not today no not today Ah but not today
[Chorus]
Em C G D
Lay around Look around watch the world pass by
Em C G D
Take a break have some fun close your eyes and feel the sun,
Em C
Well you’re not a wall flower on the shelf
G D Em C Em C
You don’t want to be someone else today today today Not today
[Verse 3]
G D
It doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor
G D
The hand of fate can come to any door
Em C
Is your Glass half empty or glass half full?
Em C D
A line to drag you or a line to pull
[Verse 4]
G D
Remembering friends who’ve said goodbye
G D
Remembering lovers who’ve made you cry
Em C
It was a different time and a different bed
Em C D
You rue some things you’ve done or said
G C G D G C D
Ah but not today no not today Ah but not today
[Chorus]
Em C G D
Lay around Look around watch the world pass by
Em C G D
And take a break have some fun close your eyes and feel the sun,
Em C
Well you’re not a wall flower on the shelf
G D Em C Em C
You don’t want to be someone else today today today Not today
