Standard (EADGBE)
If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day till eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you.
If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
Again, I would spend them with you.
Chorus
But there never seems to be enough time
| To do the things you want to do Once you find them
| I've looked around enough to know
| That you're the one I want to go through time with.
If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you
(CHORUS)

If I could save time in a bottle,
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day 'till eternity passes away,
Just to spend them with you.
Chorus
If I could make days last forever,
If words could make wishes come true,
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
Again I would spend them with you.
Chorus
If I had a box just for wishes,
And dreams that had never come true,
The box would be empty except for the memory of
How they were answered by you.

Chorus
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the tings you want to do once you find them
[1 bar] [3/4 bar] I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go through time with.
[1 bar] [1 bar] [1 bar]
On the last go 'round, play and hold Dm.
