   Dm           Dm(maj7)   Dm7    Dm6 
If I could save time in a bottle, 
     Gm6                         A7 
The first thing that I'd like to do 
       Dm        Dm7        B-       Gm7    Dm 
Is to save every day 'till eternity passes away, 
         Gm             A7 
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] 
 
 
Chorus: 
 
            D           Dmaj7 
But there never seems to be enough time 
   D6                D                   G       Gmaj7 
To do the tings you want to do once you find them 
   Em7       A7             D            Dmaj7 
[1 bar]   [3/4 bar] I've looked around enough to know 
      D6               D                  G 
That you're the one I want to go through time with. 
    Gmaj7        Em7         A7 
   [1 bar]      [1 bar]   [1 bar] 
 
 
On the last go 'round, play and hold Dm.
