Strum
D-DU-UDU
Sunlight  and the city is  barely  awake
 As all the early  morning drifters  make their way
Headlights  in the distance  too bright for my  eyes
 Still I love the dusk,  the dawn, between  times
 They are mine
 ?Cos you can't tell if  it's day  or night
 Do we see the  moon or  the sunlight?
Everything  around is so  transitional
 Momentary  lapse  of rational
Walking  past the writing  on the wall
 Something apocalyptic
 Then a momentary  lapse of faith
 Before I become  more optimistic
 Like a momentary  loss  of sight
 Fleetingly it  went so  wrong from  right
In  a second it can change  from night  to day
Any  second love  can turn  to hate
 Sunlight and the city is barely awake
 As all the seconds in our lifetime drift away
 So live every moment and hold me so tight
 A second changes day to night
 I had a momentary loss of sight
 Fleetingly it went so wrong from right
 In a second you would change your point of view
 In my hesitation I lost you
 It only takes a moment sometimes
 The difference between joy and pain
 In a second you can look away
 Turn around to find it's all changed
 Because you can't tell if it's day or night
 Do we see the moon or the sunlight?
 Everything around is so transitional
 Momentary loss of rational
 Like a momentary loss of sight
 Fleetingly it went from dark to light
 In a second it can change from night to day
 But in a moment hope will find the way

Readable chord sheet for In A Moment by Ray Davies

[Em]Sunlight and the c[B7]ity     [Bm7]is barely[E] awake
As all the e[Am]arly morning d[Cmaj7]rifters make their [Em]way
[Em]Headlights in the d[B7]istanc[Bm7]e  too bright for m[E]y eyes
Still I love the d[Am]usk, the dawn, be[Cmaj7]tween times
They are m[Em]ine        [E]

?Cos you can't tell i[C]f it's da[D]y or n[G]ight
Do we see th[C]e moon o[D]r the sun[G]light?
[G]Everything around is s[C]o tran[D]sitio[Em]nal
Momenta[C]ry lapse[D] of ra[Em]tional [E]
[E]Walking past the [Am]writing on the [Em]wall
Something a[Am]pocalypt[Em]ic
Then a moment[Am]ary lapse of [Em]faith
Before I be[Am]come more optimi[Em]stic      [E]

Like a momen[C]tary l[D]oss of [G]sight
Fleetingly [C]it went [D]so wrong fr[G]om right
[G]In a second it can cha[C]nge from n[D]ight to d[Em]ay
[G]Any second l[C]ove can t[D]urn to h[G]ate

Sunlight and the city is barely awake
As all the seconds in our lifetime drift away
So live every moment and hold me so tight
A second changes day to night

I had a momentary loss of sight
Fleetingly it went so wrong from right
In a second you would change your point of view
In my hesitation I lost you

It only takes a moment sometimes
The difference between joy and pain
In a second you can look away
Turn around to find it's all changed

Because you can't tell if it's day or night
Do we see the moon or the sunlight?
Everything around is so transitional
Momentary loss of rational

Like a momentary loss of sight
Fleetingly it went from dark to light
In a second it can change from night to day
But in a moment hope will find the way
