[Intro]
Dm E
[Verse 1]
Am G F
If I caught the world in a bottle
Dm E Am G F
And everything was still beneath the moon
Dm E
Without your love would it shine for me?
Am G F
If I was smart as Aristotle
Dm E Am G F
And understood the rings around the moon
Dm E
What would it all matter if you loved me?
[Chorus]
Dm G C
Here in your arms where the world is impossibly still
Am F
With a million dreams to fulfill
E
And a matter of moments until the dancing ends
Dm G C
Here in your arms when everything seems to be clear
Am F
Not a solitary thing would I fear
E
Except when this moment comes near the dancing's end
Am G F
If I caught the world in an hourglass
Dm E Am G F
Saddled up the moon so we could ride
Dm Am F Dm
Until the stars grew dim, until...
[Verse 2]
Am G F
One day you'll meet a stranger
Dm E Am G F
And all the noise is silenced in the room
Dm E
You'll feel that you're close to some mystery
Am G F
In the moonlight and everything shatters
Dm E Am G F
You feel as if you've known her all your life
Dm E
The world's oldest lesson in history
[Chorus]
Dm G C
Here in your arms where the world is impossibly still
Am F
With a million dreams to fulfill
E
And a matter of moments until the dancing ends
Dm G C
Here in your arms when everything seems to be clear
Am F
Not a solitary thing do I fear
E
Except when this moment comes near the dancing's end
Am G F
Oh, if I caught the world in an hourglass
Dm E Am G F
Saddled up the moon then we would ride
Dm Am F Dm E Am F Dm
Until the stars grew dim, until the time that time stands still, until...
