E7/D E/D# E
x4
 
 
[Verse]
E
I wish the time was mine
       D
But it seems every time I close my eyes
    E
The moments are gone in an instant
    D
The treasured memories now so distant
        A
But the moments I do get to view
    B7                        Cmaj7      E
Are surrounded in a whirlpool created by you
 
[Interlude]
E E7 E E7 E E7

x4
 
[Verse]
E
I don't believe in love at first sight
D
Love is just chemicals so it doesn’t seem right
E
It’s a nice thought, don’t get me wrong
        D
But I’m sick of hearing those dumb bloody songs
A
Time together is long overdue
B7                     Cmaj7                  E
Waiting in a cascading time-stream created by you
 
[Interlude]
E E7 E E7 E E7
E7/D E/D# E
x4
 
[Chorus]
B7                Cmaj7
If my life were a song
B7              Cmaj7
It'd be way too long
      A            B7         E
But I know it'd be written by you
 
[Interlude]
E E7 E E7 E E7
E7/D E/D# E
x4
 
[Bridge]
C
Romance is doomed
      A
But I still wanna commit to you
  Cmaj7
I ramble too much about finite things
     D                                              E
They say to speak from the heart and that's what it sings

[Verse]
E
The stars aren't aligned
D                      D7
Especially since it's daytime
    E
But something about this does feel right
      D7
And I don't want to lose this sight
     A
This book is gonna close
  B7                       Cmaj7             E
I wanna stay on this page forever written by you

[Chorus]
B7                Cmaj7
If my life were a song
B7                        Cmaj7
Then it's already way too long
    A               B7           E5
But right now, it's composed by you
 
[Instrumental]
E D7 E D7 A B E D7 E D7 E D7 E7
 
[Chorus]
B7                Cmaj7
If my life were a song
B7                            Cmaj7
Then it's a couple chords too long
    A                            B7                   E
But right now it's a brass heavy rock song scored by you
