If I could save time in a bot-tle  
6   -5   -5   -5   -5   6   -6   6
the first thing that I’d like to do  
6   6   6     -6   6   6   
is to save ev-‘ry day  
-6   6   7   -6   6   -5   6   -6   6  
‘til e-ter-ni-ty pass-es  a-way 
6   6   -5   5   -5   6
just to spend them with you
(Repeat)

6   -4   5*   6   6   6   -6*   6   6   -4
But there nev-er seems to be  e-nough time  
-3   5*   6   6   6   -6*   6   6
to do the things you want to do   
-4   -3   -2*   -3
once you find them  
2   5*   6   6   6   -6*   6   -4
I’ve looked a-round e-nough to know  
2   5*   6   6   6   -6*   6   5*   -3   -2*   -3
that you’re the one I want to go thru time with
(Short Interlude)

(Ending)
6    7*   -7 (Repeat 3X)

6   6     -6   6   6     -6   6   6   6
If I had a box just for wish-es  
6   -5     -5   -5   6   -6   6
and dreams that had nev-er come true  
6   6   6   6   6   6
the box would be emp-ty  
6   7   -6   6   -5   6
ex-cept for the mem-‘ry  
-6   6     -6   6   -5   5   -5   6
of how they were an-swered by you
(Repeat 2nd Verse)   

If I could make days last for-ev-er   
if words could make wish-es come true  
I’d save ev-‘ry day like a treas-ure  
and then a-gain I would spend them with you

But there nev-er seems to be  e-nough time  
to do the things you want to do   
once you find them  
I’ve looked a-round e-nough to know  
that you’re the one I want to go thru time with
