Chorus I:

Whenever I'm weary

from the battles in my head,

You make sense of madness

when my sanity hangs by a thread,

Chorus II:

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(?)
