Verse:
If Dm I could save Dm/C# time in a Dm7 bottle Dm6
The Gm6 first thing that Gm7 I’d like to A7 do (Riff 1)
Is to Dm save every Dm7 day till
Gm6 eternity Gm7 passes a Dm way
Just to Gm spend them with A7 you (Riff 2)
Verse:
If Dm I could make Dm/C# days last Dm7 for Dm6 ever
If Gm6 words could make Gm7 wishes come A7 true
I’d Dm save every Dm7 day like a
Gm6 treasure and Gm7 then
A Dm gain, I would Gm spend them with A7 you.
Chorus:
But there D never seems to F#m be enough time
To Bm do the things you Bm7 want to do
Once you G find D them Em7 A7 (Riff 4)
I’ve D looked around F#m enough to know
That Bm you’re the one I Bm7 want to go through
G time with D Em7 A7 (Riff 4)
Verse:
If Dm I had a Dm/C# box just for Dm7 wishes Dm6
And Gm6 dreams that had Gm7 never come A7 true (Riff1)
The Dm box would be Dm7 empty ex Gm6 cept for the Gm7 memory
Of Dm how they were Gm answered by A7 you (Riff2)
Chorus:
But there D never seems to F#m be enough time
To Bm do the things you Bm7 want to do
Once you G find D them Em7 A7 (Riff 4)

That Bm you’re the one I Bm7 want to go through
G time with D Em7 A7 (Riff 4)
