Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Guess i'm caught  up everyday
 Tryin to keep  it all together
 While the time  just slips away
 See I know nothing  lasts forever
 Imagine there  was no tomorrow
 Imagine that I couldn't see your face
 There'd be no limit  to my sorrow
 So all I can say
 I wanna tell  you something
Give  you something
Show  you in so many ways
 Cuz it would all  mean nothing
If  I don't say something
Before  it all goes away
 Don't wanna wait  to bring you flowers
Waste  another hour
Let  alone another day
 I'm gonna tell  you something
Show  you something
 Won't wait  til it's too late
 I can't wait, I can't wait,  I won't wait, I don't wanna  wait
 I can't wait, I can't wait,  I won't wait, I don't wanna  wait
I  won't wait til it's too late
EXACTLY THE SAME AS PREVIOUS VERSE-------- D G A
 Just a simple conversation (..sation)
 Just a moment is all it takes (yeah)
 I wanna be there just to listen
 (i wanna be here)
 And I don't wanna hesitate (oh no)
 Imagine there was no tomorrow (imagine)
 Imagine that I couldn't see your face (your face)
 There'd be no limit to my sorrow (oh no)
 Cuz there is nothing that can fill this space
 I don't wanna put it off for too long
 I didn't say all that I had to say
 I wanna take the time to right the wrongs
 Before we get to the place
SAME AS ABOVE CHORUS---------
 I wanna tell you something
 Give you something
 Show you in so many ways
 Cuz it would all mean nothing
 If I don't say something
 Before it all goes away
 Don't wanna wait to bring you flowers
 Waste another hour
 Let alone another day
 I'm gonna tell you something
 Show you something
 Won't wait til it's too late
 Just lean  on my shoulder
 It's not over  til it's over
 Don't worry  bout it
 Cuz i'm gonna  make sure
 I'm gonna get stronger  yeah
I  don't wanna wait  until the storm
 There's something wrong
 And now you're gone
 And I can't find  ya
 If I don't say something
 Before it all goes away
 Don't wanna wait to bring you flowers
 Waste another hour
 Let alone another day
 I'm gonna tell you something
 Show you something
 Won't wait til it's too late
 Repeat chorus
-------------SAME AS BEFORE. D G A
 I can't wait, I can't wait, I won't wait, I don't wanna wait
 (i won't wait til it's too late)
 I can't wait, I can't wait, I won't wait, I don't wanna wait
 (no.. won't wait, no no)
 I can't wait, I can't wait, I won't wait, I don't wanna wait
 (i won't late til it's too late)
 I can't wait, I can't wait, I won't wait, I don't wanna wait
 No no no no no
 No no
 (i can't wait, I won't wait)
 And there you have it...a beautiful song
