Lovers In A Dangerous Time Chords

(ver. 2)
Barenaked Ladies
Lovers in a Dangerous Time by BNL

I've seen a couple versions of this song out there but most incorrectly have a 
on 2 and the chords are pretty easy to make out. Hammer on and pull off the middle 
finger on the G-string when playing the Fmaj7 to get the riff right.

(capo on 2)
G:       320033
Am7:     x02010
Fmaj7:   x33210
Gadd11:  32001x


  
G   Am7   Fmaj7   (x2 over bass solo)

G                      Am7                    Fmaj7
  Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by?
G                 Am7               Fmaj7
  We never get to stop and open our eyes.
G                   Am7                     Fmaj7
  One minute you're waiting for the sky to fall
G                            Am7            Fmaj7
  Next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all.

G  Am7                Fmaj7
Lovers in a dangerous time   (x2 album; x1 live)

G               Am7                    Fmaj7
  These fragile bodies of touch and taste 
G               Am7                    Fmaj7
  This fragrant skin, this hair like lace 
G         Am7                  Fmaj7
  Spirits open to thrust of grace, 
G            Am7                       Fmaj7
  Never a breath you can't afford to waste. 

G  Am7                Fmaj7
Lovers in a dangerous time   (x4)

Gadd11   Am7   Fmaj7   (x4 over bass solo)

G             Am7                     Fmaj7
  When you're lovers in a dangerous time, 
G                               Am7                  Fmaj7
  Sometimes you're made to feel as if your loves a crime. 
  G                              Am7                Fmaj7
  Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight 
G                         Am7                     Fmaj7
  You gotta kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight. 

G  Am7                Fmaj7
Lovers in a dangerous time   (x4)

G   Am7   Fmaj7

G          Am7                    Fmaj7

  We were lovers in a dangerous time

  Lo-o-overs, Lo-o-overs, Lo-o-overs

  Woah-oh, Oo-woah, Woah-oh
       G          Am7        Fmaj7            G
  Lo-o-overs in a dangerous time, Woah-oh, Oh-oh
