[Intro] Em  F#7

   Bm   Bm/A    G7M 
If I caught the world in a bottle
    Em6/C#    F#       Bm     Bm/A     G7M 
And everything was still beneath the moon
   Em6/C#                  F#    Em6/C#    F#
Without your love would it shine for me?

   Bm    Bm/A    G7M 
If I was smart as Aristotle
    Em6/C#     F#      Bm     Bm/A     G7M 
And understood the rings around the moon
      Em6/C#               F#  Em6/C# F#
What would it all matter if you loved me?

        Em                 
Here in your arms
               A                  D7M 
The where the world is impossibly still
         Bm               G7M 
With a million dreams to fulfill
        Em6/C#              F#7       
And a matter of moments until
      Em6/C#    F#7
The dancing ends

             Em           
Here in your arms
        A                    D7M    
When everything seems to be clear
       Bm                   G7M 
Not a solit'ry thing would I fear
     Em6/C#                       F#7       
Except when this moment comes near
    Em6/C#      F#7
The dancing's end

   Bm   Bm/A     G7M 
If I caught the world in an hourglass
  Em6/C#   F#     Bm      Bm/A   G7M 
Saddel up the moon so we could ride
Em6/C#     Bm      Bm/A G7M     Em6/C#
Until the stars grew dim,   until
