[Verse 1]

Somebody never told me 
          G                 G7
there’s a last time for everything
       C                  Cm
Even a landslide is an opening
                   G F
Turning metal into gold
       E                    Am    D
So the line is somebody never told me
 
 
[Chorus]
C                   Am
Paper flowers don’t die
                    G F              E
But neither Do they live like you and I
                         Am  G      D
Lightning never striking twice is a lie
                                 G G7
Like good things coming when you wait
             C             B
To tell the truth, I gotta say
          G        F     E
I don’t believe in yesterday
                       Am G     D
I don’t wanna live forevΠ΅r, anyway
                       G  Bm         Em
For a moment that was never  hΠ΅re to stay
               Am    D
Forget about tomorrow
           Em
For just today
 
[Verse 2]

Somebody never told me 
          G                   G7
there’s a first time for everything
       C             Cm
It’s a free fall, discovery
                   G      F 
On the day you get that call 
        E  
and the waiting is over
       Am                         D
It all changes in the blink of an eye
 
[Chorus]
C                   Am
Paper flowers don’t die
                    G F               E
But neither Do they live like you and I
                         Am G       D
Lightning never striking twice is a lie
                                 G G7
Like good things coming when you wait
            C              B
To tell the truth, I gotta say
          G        F     E
I don’t believe in yesterday
                      Am G     D
I don’t wanna live forever, anyway
                      G Bm         Em
For a moment that was never here to stay
              Am     
Forget about tomorrow 
                     D
(Forget about tomorrow)
           Em
Just for today
               Am   D
Forget about tomorrow
           G               Gmaj7 G7
Just for today (Just for today)
   C         Cm
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Cm       G
Just for today
