Am Time in a Bottle, Jim Croce, 1973
[Intro] Am Dm E -riff [Verse] Am If I could save time in a bottle Dm E The first thing that I'd like to do - play riff in reg time Am F Dm Am Is to save every day till eternity passes away Dm E Just to spend them with you. Am If I could make days last forever Dm E If words could make wishes come true Am F Dm Am I'd save every day like a treasure and then Dm E Again, I would spend them with you. [Chorus] A But there never seems to be enough time A D Bm E To do the things you want to do Once you find them A I've looked around enough to know A D Bm E That you're the one I want to go through time with. Am Dm E -riff [Verse] Am If I had a box just for wishes Dm E And dreams that had never come true Am F Dm Am The box would be empty except for the memory Dm E Of how they were answered by you [Chorus] A But there never seems to be enough time A D Bm E To do the things you want to do Once you find them A I've looked around enough to know A D Bm E That you're the one I want to go through time with. Intro Riff again [Verse] Am If I could save time in a bottle Dm E The first thing that I'd like to do - play riff in reg time Am F Dm Am Is to save every day till eternity passes away Dm E Just to spend them with you A But there never seems to be enough time A D To do the things you want to do once you find them Bm E A [1 bar] [3/4 bar] I've looked around enough to know A D That you're the one I want to go through time with. D Bm E [1 bar] [1 bar] [1 bar] On the last go 'round, play and hold Dm.
