TODAY- Jefferson Airplane
D
Today, I feel like pleasing you more than before
Today, I know what I wanna do, but I don't know what for
C F Em C D C D
To be living for you is all I want to do
C F Em C D C D
To be loving you it'll all be there when my dreams come true
Today, you make me say that I somehow have changed
Today, you look into my eyes I'm just not the same
To be any more than all I am would be a lie
I'm so full of love I could burst apart and start to cry
Today, everything you want I swear it all will come true
Today, I realize how much I'm in love with you
With you standing here I could tell the world what it means to love
To go on from here, I can't use words they don't say enough
Dm Am Bb Am
Please, please listen to me
Dm Am Bb
It's taken so long to come true
Bb
And it's all for you
G
All for you

NOTE: Obviously this song is hard to do for just one guitar but I think
it's doable. Listen to the record to get a sense of where and when things
happen. Also, I'm not sure about some of the chords, but they'll do for
now I suppose.

| People normally come here to look for meaning of songs. But I don’t think loads of people give a dam about this old rock and roll track forgotten with time it seems. It saddens me to see no one has pasted comments on such a beautiful song. Now this is what it means to me. This guy who has written it is in love with someone he can’t really somehow go out with. And he wishes that today would be the day that he can shout it out let her know how much he cares for and what he can do for her to start with. The nice part is the irony in it. He says it as if it’s today that he has realized how much he gives a fuck…. But actually he is wishing that today be the day that she sees how he feels about her in his eyes. He wishes there is a mutual understanding between them without the need of words. And ones that she understands it he shows her the other dimensions of him self and do all he can for her. | |

| i wouldn't say this song is romantic. well... yes i suppose it is but it is more about a desperate man who can't stop thinking about this girl but he doesn't know how to get the message across. he doesn't want to say it to her because he thinks he'll screw it up and alienate himself and then he'll never have a chance. but i think this song is about that one day when he finally decides to tell her because he's grown tried of waiting around for the right moment. it's a song about desperation after months/years of self-denial and/or trying to force your feelings for someone to the back of your mind because you think that being THAT open with someone for the first time in your life could be just to painful to bear if you're rejected. but you've run out of time to wait for the right moment cause she's leaving or something so this is your last chance, do or die. as you can probably tell this comes from presonal experience. it is hard. nice tune too | |
