Whenever I'm weary

You make sense of madness
when my sanity hangs by a thread,

I lose my way but still you seem to understand,
Fill III:
Now and forever, I will be your man.
Chorus I (2nd time):
Sometimes I just hold you
Too caught up in me to see,
I'm holding a fortune
that heaven has given to me,
Chorus II:
I'll try to show you each and every way I can,
Fill IV:
Now and forever, I will be your man.
Chorus III:
Now I can rest my worries
and always be sure
that I won't be alone anymore,
if I'd only known you were there
all the time
all this time.
(Solo)
Chorus II:
Until the day the ocean doesn't touch the sand,
Fill IV:
Now and forever, I will be your man.
Ending:
Now and forever, I will be your man.

Now & Forever
Richard Marx
Forgive me for posting an incomplete tab, but I'm not the
world's greatest guitarist, and this is all I've been able to figure
out so far.
Now & Forever, music and lyrics by Richard Marx
Intro: Twice the first time.
-----3-------------3-------------
-------0/1--1/3/1---------1/0----
----------------------0-------2--
-------0/2--2/4/2----------------
---2--------------------3--------
-3-------------------------------
I'm not sure about the notation, but those 0/1 things are
supposed to be hammer-ons and pull-offs.
G /F# Em Am /G D9/F#
Whenever I'm weary from the battles that rage in my head
G /F# Em Am /G D9/F#
You make sense of madness when my sanity hangs by a thread
C B7 Em D(?) Em/A(?) <== Not sure about these
I lose my way but still you seem to understand
Am D
Now and forever, I will be your man
Intro one time into second verse:
Sometimes I just hold you, too caught up in me to see
I'm holding a fortune, that heaven has given to me
I'll try to show you each and every way I can
Now and forever, I will be your man
/F# Em C G D
Now I can rest my worries and always be sure
Em C G D
That I won't be alone anymore
Em C G D AmaddG
I'f I'd only known you were there all the time

There. That's what I have so far. Anyone who's better at transcribing,
feel free to improve on this.
