[Strophe]
         C 
Shut the door turn the lights off 
            G 
I wanna be with you 
  
I wanna feel your love 
            Am 
I wanna lay beside you 
                                  F 
I cannot hide this even though I try
[Strophe]
           C 
Heartbeats harder 
  
Time escapes me 
          G 
Trembling hands touch skin 
                  Am 
It makes this harder 
                              F 
And the tears stream down my face 
Am           G               C                F 
If we could only have this life for one more day 
Am           G              F 
If we could only turn back time
[Refrain]
              C 
You know I'll be 
                                     G 
Your life, your voice your reason to be 
  
My love, my heart 
                 Am 
Is breathing for this 
  
Moment in time 
                        F 
I'll find the words to say 
  
Before you leave me today
[Strophe]
         C 
Close the door 
  
Throw the key 
                G 
Don't wanna be reminded 
  
Don't wanna be seen 
               Am 
Don't wanna be without you 
  
My judgement is clouded 
                F 
Like tonight's sky 
     C 
Hands are Silent  
  
Voice is numb 
              G 
Try to scream out my lungs 
                      Am 
But it makes this harder 
                              F 
And the tears stream down my face 
Am           G              C                 F 
If we could only have this life for one more day 
Am           G              F 
If we could only turn back time
[Refrain]
              C 
You know I'll be 
                                      G 
Your life, your voice, your reason to be 
  
My love, my heart 
                 Am 
Is breathing for this 
  
Moment in time 
                        F 
I'll find the words to say 
  
Before you leave me today
[Strophe]
Am                  G 
Flashing lights in my mind 
                  C 
Going back to the time 
                        F 
Playing games in the street 
                       Am 
Kicking balls at my feet 
                    G 
There's a numb in my toes 
                       C 
Standing close to the edge 
                                   F            Am 
There's a pile of my clothes at the end of your bed 
                  G 
As I feel myself fall 
                   F 
Make a joke of it all
[Refrain]
              C 
You know I'll be 
                                     G 
Your life, your voice your reason to be 
  
My love, my heart 
                  Am 
Is breathing for this 
  
Moment in time 
                        F 
I'll find the words to say 
  
Before you leave me today
[Refrain]
              C 
You know I'll be 
                                     G 
Your life, your voice your reason to be 
  
My love, my heart 
                 Am 
Is breathing for this 
  
Moment in time 
                        F 
I'll find the words to say 
  
Before you leave me today
