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

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

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
