<pre>Verse 1
G Em
Isn't it funny
D Cadd9
How time seems to slip away so fast
G Em D Cadd9
One minute you're happy, the other you're sad
G Em
But if you give me one more chance
D Cadd9
To show my love for you is true
G Em D Cadd9
I'll stand by your side, your whole life through
</pre>
<pre>Chorus
G
If life is so short
D
Why won't you let me love you
Em C
Before we run out of time
G
If love is so strong
D
Why won't you take the chance
Em C
Before our time has gone
G D
If life is so short
Em C G D
If life is so short
Em C
If life is so short
</pre>
<pre>Verse 2
G Em D Cadd9
Love is a word that explains how I feel for you
G Em D Cadd9
And when you're in my arms all my dreams come true
G Em D Cadd9
And when you're not around you can't hardly see
G Em
These tears that I'm crying now
D Cadd9
Are for you to be with me
