Anticipation

Words & Music:

Carly Simon

 

Supposedly written as Carly Simon was waiting for Cat Stevens to arrive for their blind date.

 

D      G                     D

We can never know about the days to come,

D      G                   Em    Asus4    A

But we think about them anyway.

      D      G             D

And I wonder if I'm really with you now,

        G                  Em7  A  D    D7sus4   D

Or just chasing after some fin--er day.

G             DM7             Em7       A        Em7        A

Anticipation, anticipation is making me late, is keeping me waiting.

 

And I tell you how easy it is to be with you.

How right your arms feel around me.

But I, I rehearsed those words just late last night

When I was thinking about how right to nights might be.

Anticipation, anticipation is making me late, is keeping me waiting.

 

And tomorrow we might not be together.

I'm no prophet, and I don't know nature's ways.

So, I'll try and see into your eyes right now.

    G                      Em7           A7       D

And stay right here, cause these are the good old days.

D     G6      D

These are the good old days.

G                          Em7           A7       D

And stay right here, cause these are the good old days.

D     G6      D

These are the good old days.

D     G6      D

These are the good old days.

D     G6      D

These are the good old days.

D     G6  Em              D    Dsus4  D

These are--- the good old days.
