HERE TIME STANDS STILL (Mary Chapin Carpenter)

G Gmaj7 C C/D - D
[intro]

G G C(9) D(9)
Baby, where's that place where time stands still
G G C(9) D7/F#

I remember like a lover can, but I forget it like a leaver will
G Gmaj7 C(9) D(9)
It's no place you can get to by yourself; you've gotta love someone and
G Gmaj7 C(9) D(9)
they love you; Time will stop for nothing else

F(9) F(9) C/E C/E
Memory plays tricks on us; the more we cling, the less we trust
F(9) F(9) Am(9) C/D - D
And the less we trust, the more we hurt; and as time goes on it just gets worse

G(9) Gmaj7 C(9) Cm6
So baby, where's that place where time stood still
G Cm6 G G
Is it under glass inside a frame, was it over when you had your fill?

G G C C/D - D
[instrumental]
G - G/F# G/E - G/D C G - D
[instrumental]
Em7 Bm7 - G C G

G C G D - Em7
[instrumental]

F(9) F(9) C/E C/E
Here we are with nothing but this emptiness inside of us
F(9) F(9) Am(9) C/D - D
Your smile a fitting final gesture, wish I could have loved you better

G(9) Gmaj7 C(9) Cm6
Baby, where's that place where time stands still
G Cm6 G Cm6
I remember like a lover can, but I forget it like a leaver will
G Cm6
It's the first time that you held my hand, it's the smell and the
G Cm6
taste, and the feel, and the thrill
G Cm6
It's everything I understand, and all the things I
G Gmaj7 C Cm6 G.
never will [instrumental]
