There We Are
Words and Music by James Taylor
(c) 1977, 1978 Country Road Music
C69
Listen to me and I’ll sing you a song
F/G
and the time will go by till you never know where it’s gone
Bbmaj7 F/Bb E/A
Talk to me and I’ll tell you my life story
Dmaj7 F/G G/C
Walk with me and I’ll tell you my dreams of glory
Eb
There we are
Gm7 F/Bb Csus4 C Gm7 F/Bb G/C
Walking hand in hand, somewhere on the sand
Fmaj7 Em7 A7-9 F/Bb F#/B
at the end of the land and the edge of the shining sea
C69
Drifting through time and space on the face of
F/G
a little blue ball falling around the sun
Bbmaj7 F/Bb E/A Dmaj7
One in a million billion twinkling lights shining out for no one
F/G G/C
in the middle of the night
Eb
Here we are
Gm7 F/Bb Csus4 C Gm7 F/Bb G/C
sparks in the darkness, speaking of our love
Fmaj7 Em7 A7-9 F/Bb — F#/B G/C G#/C#
burning down forever and forever
A/D G/A Dmaj7 F/G
Oh I don’t know if I told you but you hold my heart in your hand
Cmaj7 G/C F/G
And I found out something about you;
Bbmaj7 F/Bb E/A F/Bb F#/B
baby, without you, I’m a lonely man
C69
So though I never say that I love you,
F/G
I love you, darling I do, Carly I do love you
Bbmaj7 F/Bb E/A
And though we are as nothing to the stars that shine above
Dmaj7 F/G G/C
You are my universe; you are my love
Eb
Here we are
Gm7 F/Bb Csus4 C Gm7 F/Bb G/C
like children forever, taking care of one another
Fmaj7 Em7 A7-9 F/Bb
While the world goes on without us all around us
F/Bb F#/B G/C G#/C# A/D Bb/Eb B/E C/F
