Frank Sinatra – What’s Now Is Now
Intro: F Eb6 Gaug/C# C#
F# C#m7/F#
You should have told me when it all began
F# C#m7/F#
You should have told me long ago
G#m C#m7
Someday I know you're gonna find
F#7
Just one mistake is not enough
B
To change my mind
C#m7/F#
What's now is now
Badd2/F# F#7 B
And I'll forget what happened then
C#m7/F# Badd2/F# F#7 B
I know it all and we can still begin again
F# C#m7/F#
And if the doubting faces made you go
F# C#m7/F#
It's only mine that matters now
G#m C#m7
Those looks will soon begin to fade
F#7
If you can come back and show them all
B
You're not afraid,
C#m7/F#
What's now is now
Badd2/F# F#7 B
And I'll forget what happened then
C#m7/F# Badd2/F# F#7 B
I know it all and we can still begin again
F# C#m7/F#
Now that you know how much I understand
F# C#m7/F#
You have no reason to be gone
G#m C#m7
And if you feel at all like me,
F#7
Just let me know, I'll make it like
B
it used to be
C#m7/F#
What's now is now
Badd2/F# F#7 B
And I'll forget what happened then
C#m7/F# Badd2/F# F#7 B
I know it all and we can still begin again
Repeat and fade
