{start_of_verse: Verse 1}
I could [D]stay awake [A/C#]just to hear you [Bm7]breathing
Watch you [G]smile while you are [D/F#]sleeping while you're [Em7]far away and dreaming
I could [D]spend my life [A/C#]in this sweet sur[Bm7]render
I could [G]stay lost in this [D/F#]moment for[Em]ever
Every moment [F#m7]spent with [GM7]you is a moment I [Asus4]treasure
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_chorus: Chorus 1}
[D] Don't want to [A/C#]close my eyes, [Em7] I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd [G]miss you, baby, and I don't wanna [A]miss a thi[D]ing
[D] Cause even when I [A/C#]dream of you, [Em7] the sweetest dream would never do
I'd still [G]miss you, baby, and I don't want to [A]miss a thi[D]ing

{start_of_verse: Verse 2}
Lying [D]close to you [A/C#]feeling your heart [Bm7]beating
And I'm [G]wondering what you're [D/F#]dreaming, wondering [Em]if it's me you're seeing
Then I [D]kiss your eyes and [A/C#]thank God we're to[Bm7]gether
And I just want to [F#m7]stay with [GM7]you, in this moment for[Asus4]ever, forever and ever
{end_of_verse}
{chorus: Chorus 2}

I don't want to [C]miss one smile, I don't want to [G/B]miss one kiss
Well, I just want to [A#]be with you, right here with you, [F/A]just like this
I just want to [C]hold you close, I feel your heart so [G/B]close to mine
And just [Dm7]stay here in this moment for the [Asus4]rest of time
[A7]yeah, yeah, ye[D]ah!
