"Here Today"

Brian Wilson/Tony Asher)
Verse 1:

        Bm/A
        It starts with just a little glance, now
        A
        Right away you're thinkin' 'bout romance now
        Bm/A
        You know you ought to take it slower
        A
        But you just can't wait to get to know her

            D  A/C#  Bm  A G#m7-5         C#7        F#m   A7/E
        A brand new love affair is such a beautiful thing
                D    A/C#  Bm  A  G#m7-5          C#7          F#m
        But if you're not careful think about the pain it can bring

                    C#7/G#
        It makes you feel so bad
                      F#m/A
        It makes your heart feel sad
                     C#7/B
        It makes your days go wrong
                       C#m7
        It makes your nights so long
                      E7/D [bass: slide high D (G string, 19th fret) down]
        You've got to keep in mind

Chorus:

                 A   D/F# A/E   D/A
        Love is here          today
                  A   D/F# A/E   D/A
        And it's gone          tomorrow
              A       D/F#     E7
        It's here and gone so fast

        (bass doubled w/piano):

Verse 2:

        Right now you think that she's perfection
        This time is really an exception
        Well, you know I hate to be a downer
        But I'm the guy she left before you found her

        Well, I'm not sayin' you won't have good luck with her
        But I keep on rememberin' things like they were

        She made me feel so bad
        She made my heart feel sad
        She made my days go wrong
        And made my nights so long
        You've got to keep in mind

        [repeat chorus and bass/piano riff]
