Time In A Bottle

[B]

                If [Dm]I could save [Dm]time in a [Dm7]bottle [Dm6]
                The [Gm6]first thing that I'd like to [A7]do
                Is to [Dm]save every [Dm7]day till [B]eternity [Gm7]passes [Dm]away
                Just to [Gm]spend them with [A7]you.

                If [Dm]I could make [Dm]days last [Dm7]forever[Dm6]
                If w[Gm6]ords could make wishes come t[A7]rue
                I'd sa[Dm]ve every da[Dm7]y like a [B]treasure [Gm7]and the[Dm]n
                Again, I[Gm] would spend the[A7]m with you.

                          [D]              [Dmaj7]

But there never seems to be enough time
     |          To [D6]do the things you [D]want to do Once you [G]find the[Gmaj7]m
     |  [Em7]     [A7]   I've [D]looked around [Dmaj7]enough to know
     |          That [D6]you're the one I [D]want to go through [G]time with.[Gmaj7]      [Em7]          [A7]

                If [Dm]I had a box [Dm]just for [Dm7]wishes [Dm6]
                And [Gm6]dreams that had never come [A7]true
                The [Dm]box would be [Dm7]empty [B]except for the [Gm7]memory [Dm]
                Of how they were answered by you

If [Dm]I could save [Dm]time in a b[Dm7]ottle, [Dm6]
The f[Gm6]irst thing that I'd like to [A7]do
Is to s[Dm]ave every [Dm7]day 'till e[B]ternity p[Gm7]asses a[Dm]way,
Just to s[Gm]pend them with [A7]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.

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.

But there ne[D]ver seems to[Dmaj7] be enough time
To [D6]do the tings you w[D]ant to do once you f[G]ind them[Gmaj7]
[1 [Em7]bar]   [3/[A7]4 bar] I've loo[D]ked around en[Dmaj7]ough to know
That y[D6]ou're the one I w[D]ant to go through t[G]ime with.
   [[Gmaj7]1 bar]      [[Em7]1 bar]   [1 [A7]bar]

On the last go 'round, play and hold Dm.
