Am                     Em
Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading,
Am                          Em
From all the things that we are
But are not saying.
Am                     Em
Can we see beyond the scars
                    D
And make it to the dawn?
Am                        Em
Change the colors of the sky.
And open up to
Am                          Em
The ways you made me feel alive,

The ways I loved you.
Am                             Em
For all the things that never died,
                        D
To make it through the night,
           F
Love will find you.

Chorus:
            C
What about now?
     G/B      Am
What about today?
           G    F              C/E       Dm
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
             C         G/B   Am
What if our love never went away?
        G     F                    C/E   Dm
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
         C/E           F
Baby, before it's too late,

            Am  Em
What about now?

Oh, the sun is breaking in your eyes
to start a new day
This broken heart can still survive
with a touch of your grace
Shadows fade into the light
I am by your side where love will find you

Chorus

           Dm
what about now
                Am
Now that we're here,
                C
Now that we've come this far,
      E
Just hold on.
Dm                  Am
There is nothing to fear,
          F
For I am right beside you.
    Dm
For all my life,
      Am
I am yours.

            Am
What about now?
              C
What about today?
                F             C/E        Dm
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
             Am               C
What if our love never went away?
              F                          G
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?

Chorus

Baby, before it's too late
Baby, before it's too late
What about now?
