_ _ Don't [Dm] wish me _ justice [Eb] _ _
once.
I [D] wanna make this moment _ [Gm] _
last.
Slow down [Dm] the _ pace, there's [Eb] no _ hurry.
_ [D] I can't have _ [Gm] another past mid _ [Dm]-fire.
_ Let _ _ [Eb]
me be the one [Bb] to say that when I'm _ [Am] dead, oh. _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ Just let [Gm] me _ close [Dm] my _ eyes, _ _
[Eb] memorize _ _ _ the way things are [Gm] this minute.
So when [Dm] you come, I can [Eb] go _ on. _
_ [D] _ _ Remembering, hoping, [Gm] _ and that's what [F] I'm feeling. _ _
_ _ [Eb] Time's dropping, _ _ [Bb] _ stealing _ [Am] something _ _ _ _ away.
[D] _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] Oh no, _ nothing's [F] the same. _
[D] Tell me why I feel [Gm] this way.
[F] _
_ _ [Eb] Life wouldn't be [Bb] worth _ living without [Am] _ you. _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
All [Eb] _ along, I've been a [F] _ pretender. _
_ [D] But now that you've come _ [Gm] _ forever,
[F]
Oh, _ [Eb] _ _ somebody's in [Bb] _ love with a brand [Am] new _ you.

_ _ [Gm] _ _ _
Gotta _ [Dm] _ concentrate, _ _ [Eb] find a way.
_ _ _ [D] _ Every last [Gm] detail, _ _ don't [Dm] wanna lose.
What's [Eb] going down?
_ _ [A] I wanna [D] _ remember _ [Gm] _
everything _ [F] I'm feeling.
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _
Time's dropping, _ [Bb] _ stealing _ _ something [Am] _ _
