Lyrics
The (C)best (G#dim7)of (Gm7)times is now.
(Gm)What's left of (C9)summer but a (Fdim)faded (Fmaj7)rose?
(D7)The (Gm)best (F#dim)of (Gm)times is now.
(Gm7)As for (C9)tomorrow, well, who (Fmaj7)knows?
(F7)Who (F6)knows?
(Faug)Who (F)knows?
So (C)hold (Ddim)this (Gm7)moment fast
(C9)and live and love as hard as (Fdim)you know (Fmaj7)how.
(D7)And (Gm)make (F#dim)this (Gm)moment (Gm7)last
because the (C9)best of times is (F)now,
is (Bb)now, is (F)now.
(Bb)Now,
(Bb6)not (C7)some forgotten (Am)yesterday.
(Dm)Now,
(Dm7)(G7)tomorrow is too (Gm)far (Eb)away.
(F)So (C)hold (G#dim7)this (Gm)moment fast,
(C9)and live and love as hard as (Fdim)you know (Fmaj7)how.
(Am7)And (D7)make this (Gm)moment last
(Gm7)because the (C9)best of times is (F)now,
is (Bb)now, is (F)now.
(G)The (D)best (C#dim7)of (Am7)times is now.
(D7sus)What's left of (D7)summer but (F#7)a (F#)faded (G6)rose?
(Bm7)The (F)best (Bm7)of (Am9)times is now.
(Am7)As for (D7)tomorrow, well, who (G6)knows?
Who knows?
Who knows?
(G)So (Am)hold (G)this (Am7)moment fast
(D7sus)and live and love as hard as (F#)you know (G)how.
(Bm7)And (F)make (E7)this (Am)moment (Am7)last
because the (D7)best of times is (G)now,
is (C)now, is (G)now, is (Cmaj7)now,
is (Bb)now.
