Chords for Billy Vera - At This Moment at The Wiltern Theater 1988

_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ Hi, I'm Billy Vera.
_ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ 1979, I came out here from New York,
had a bunch of hits in the 60s
with Judy Clay on Atlantic Records and by myself,
and my career went down in the toilet in the 70s.
_ _ _ Finally found a sucker to sign me up,
Ed Silvers, my buddy,
and Michael Sandoval out there,
who believed in this song.
_ _ We got a record deal, Alpha Records,
Lauren Safer,
fought to put this song out after we had a hit single.
Went to number 79, _ dropped.
About five years later,
a television show named Family Ties said,
Hey, we want to use your song on the show.
_ They used it, _ not bad, got a bag full of mail,
went to a label called Rhino Records,
I said, hey, why don't you re-release the old record?
They said, ah, okay.
A year later, Family Ties puts out the song again.
_ 9,000 people call up NBC. _
I said, wow, maybe we got something here.
Next thing you know, it's number one.
_ _ So you gotta keep trying.

I _ [C#] _ would do at this moment
When [C#m] _ you're standing before me
_ _ _ [D#] _ _
Tears in your [C#] _ [A#m] eyes
[G#m] Trying to tell me that [C#] you
_ _ _ [G#m] _ _
_ Found you [C#] another
_ _ [G#m] _ _
And you just [C#] don't love me no [F#]
more
_ _ [A#m] _ _ _ [F#] _ [B]
Whoa
_ [F#] _ _ [G#m] _ What [C#] _
[F#] _ did you think
I _ [C#] would say at this moment
When [C#m] _ _ I'm faced with the knowledge
That [C#] you just don't love [D#] [C#] me
_ [G] [G#m] Did _ _ [C#] you think I would curse you
_ [G#m] _ _ Or say [C#] things to hurt you
[G#m] You _ _ [C#] just don't love me [F#] no more _ _

_ [G#m] And you know _
_ I'd [C#] never, never hurt you Oh
_ [F#] Do _ you think
_ I [C#] would give at this moment
_ _ [C#m] _ If you'd stay
_ I'd [C#] subtract 20 years [D#] from my [C#] [D#] life
_ [G#m] Fall _ [C#] down on my knees
[G#m] Kiss the ground [C#] that you walk on
_ [G#m] If I could just [C#] hold _ _ [F#] _ you again _ _ Oh

_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [D#] _ [G#] _
[D#] fall [G#m] down _ _ [C#] _ on my [G#m] knees
And I'd kiss the [C#] ground
That you walk on, baby
[G#m] _ If I could [C#] just hold _ [A#m] you
_ If _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
