_ [Dm] _ We [Cm] walked on the beach beside [F] that old hotel. _ _ _
_ [D] _ They're [Cm] tearing it down now, but it's [F] just as well.
_ [C] _ _
_ [D] _ I haven't [Cm] shown you everything [F] a man can do. _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] So stay with me, baby, I [F] got friends for you. _ _
This is the time to [Bb] remember, cause [Eb] it will not last [F] forever.
These are the days to [Bb] hold on to, cause [Eb] we want all the will [F] to. _
This is [Bb] the time, _ [Fm] _ but time is [C] gonna _ _ [G] change.
You've given [Gb] me the best of you, [Ebm] and I [Bb] need the [F] rest of you. _ _
_ [Dm] _ Did you know [Eb] that before [Cm] you [F] came into my life, _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ some [Eb] kind of miracle [F] that I survived.
_ [C] _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ Someday [Cm] we will both look back [F] and have to laugh. _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ We lived [Eb] through a lifetime [F] and the aftermath. _ _ _
This is the time to [Bb] remember, cause [Eb] it will not last [F] forever. _
These are the days to [Bb] hold on to, cause [Eb] we want all the will [F] to.
This is [Bb] the _ time, [Fm] _ but time is [C] gonna _ _ [G] change.
I know we [Gb] gotta move _ somehow, but I don't [Bb] wanna [F] lose you now. _ _
[G] _ [Dm] _ Sometimes [Am] it's so easy to [Bb] let a day _ [C] slip on by,
_ [Dm] _ without [Am] even seeing each [Bb] other at _ all.
_ [C] _ _
_ [Dm] _ But this [Am] is the time you'll turn back [Gm] to and so [Em] will [A] I.
_ [Dm] _ And those [Am] will be days you can [Bb] never recall.
_ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And so [Cm] we embrace again [F] behind the doom.
[C] _ _ _
_ [Dm] This beach [Eb] is so cold on [F] winter _ afternoon.
_ _ [C] _
_ [D] _ Ah, but holding [Cm] you close is like [F] holding the summer _ sun. _ _
_ [Dm] _ I'm warm [Eb] from the memory [F] of days to come. _
This is the time to [Bb] remember, cause [Eb] it will not last [F] forever.
These are the days to [Bb] hold on to, cause [Eb] we want all the will [F] to. _
This is [Bb] the _ time, [Fm] _ but time is [F] gonna _ _ [G] change.
You've given [Gb] me the best of you, [Ebm] but I [Bb] need the [Fm] rest of you. _
