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)

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.

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.

D6 D G
That you're the one I want to go through time with.

On the last go 'round, play and hold Dm.
