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.
