Play Intro through both verses;

Verse 1;

Isn't funny how times seems to slip away so fast
One minute you're happy the other you're sad
But if you give me one more chance
To show my love for you is true
I'll stand by your side your whole life through (end on D (strum)

Chorus;
                 G
If life is so short
                D
Why don'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 a chance
     Em                   C
Before our time has gone
                G              D
If life is so short
                 Em          C
If life is so short

Verse 2;

Love is a word that explains how I feel for you
When you're in my arms all my dreams come true
When you’re not around you can't hardly feel
These tears that I'm crying out are for you to be with me (end on C)
