[Verse]
Dm Dm(maj7) Dm7 Dm6
If I could save time in a bottle
Gm6 A7
The first thing that I'd like to do
Dm Dm7 B- Gm7 Dm
Is to save every day till eternity passes away
Gm A7
Just to spend them with you.
Dm Dm(maj7) Dm7 Dm6
If I could make days last forever
Gm6 A7
If words could make wishes come true
Dm Dm7 B- Gm7 Dm
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
Gm A7
Again, I would spend them with you.
[Chorus]
D Dmaj7
But there never seems to be enough time
D6 D G Gmaj7 Em7 A7
To do the things you want to do Once you find them
D Dmaj7
I've looked around enough to know
D6 D G Gmaj7 Em7 A7
That you're the one I want to go through time with.
[Verse]
Dm Dm(maj7) Dm7 Dm6
If I had a box just for wishes
Gm6 A7
And dreams that had never come true
Dm Dm7 B- Gm7 Dm
The box would be empty except for the memory
Gm A7
Of how they were answered by you
[Chorus]
D Dmaj7
But there never seems to be enough time
D6 D G Gmaj7 Em7 A7
To do the things you want to do Once you find them
D Dmaj7
I've looked around enough to know
D6 D G Gmaj7 Em7 A7
That you're the one I want to go through time with.
[Verse]
D Dmaj7
But there never seems to be enough time
D6 D G Gmaj7
To do the tings you want to do once you find them
Em7 A7 D Dmaj7
[1 bar] [3/4 bar] I've looked around enough to know
D6 D G
That you're the one I want to go through time with.
