INTRO:
Gm Dm/F Eb Adim D (2x)
VERSE 1
Gm Dm/F Eb
Don’t rush me just this once
Adim D Gm
I want to make this moment last
Dm/F Eb
Slow down the pace, there’s no hurry
Adim D Gm Dm/F
I can’t let another pass by me again
Eb Bb D
Let me be the one to say when I’ve had enough
VERSE 2
Just let me close my eyes, memorize
The way things are this minute
So when you’re gone I can go on
If memory can hold within it what I’m feeling
Should time try fading or stealing something away
CHORUS
Eb2 F
Hold on, nothing’s the same
D/F# Gm2 F
Tell me why I feel this way
Eb Bb Dm F Bb
Life wouldn’t be worth living without you
Eb2 F
All along I’ve been the pretender
D/F# Gm2 F
But now that’s gone forever
Eb2 Bb Dm
Nobody’s ever loved me like you do
D
Nobody’s broken through
INTRO (GUITAR BREAK)
VERSE 3
Got to concentrate, file away
Every last detail
Don’t want to lost what’s going down
I want to remember everything I'm feeling
Should time try fading or stealing something away
CHORUS
SOLO BREAK
Gm2 (15 bars) F Bb
CHORUS 2X (FADE OUT)
