[Intro]
Dm Gm A -riff
[Verse]
Dm
If I could save time in a bottle
Gm A
The first thing that I'd like to do - play riff in reg time
Dm A# Gm Dm
Is to save every day till eternity passes away
Gm A
Just to spend them with you.
Dm
If I could make days last forever
Gm A
If words could make wishes come true
Dm A# Gm Dm
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
Gm A
Again, I would spend them with you.
[Chorus]
D
But there never seems to be enough time
D G Em A
To do the things you want to do Once you find them
D
I've looked around enough to know
D G Em A
That you're the one I want to go through time with.
Dm Gm A -riff

If I had a box just for wishes

And dreams that had never come true

Gm A
Of how they were answered by you

But there never seems to be enough time

I've looked around enough to know
