Title: TIME IN A BOTTLE (Jim Croce)
B- = (xx0331)
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.
Dm Dm(maj7) Dm7 Dm6
If I could make days last forever
Gm6 A7
If words could make wishes come true
Dm Dm7 B- Gm7 Dm
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
Gm A7
Again, I would spend them with you.
D Dmaj7
Chorus: But there never seems to be enough time
| D6 D G Gmaj7
| To do the things you want to do Once you find them
| Em7 A7 D Dmaj7
| I've looked around enough to know
| D6 D G Gmaj7 Em7 A7
| That you're the one I want to go through time with.
Dm Dm(maj7) Dm7 Dm6
If I had a box just for wishes
Gm6 A7
And dreams that had never come true
Dm Dm7 B- Gm7 Dm
The box would be empty except for the memory
Gm 7
Of how they were answered by you
(CHORUS)

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:
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.
