🎸 Verse:
Dm7Dm7        Bb majorBb     C majorC   FF
We walked on the beach beside that old hotel
Dm7Dm7        Bb majorBb
They're tearing it down now
FF        C majorC
But it's just as well
Dm7Dm7        Bb majorBb      C majorC   FF
I haven't shown you everything a man can do
Dm7Dm7        Bb majorBb
So stay with me baby
   FF        C majorC
I've got plans for you

🎸 Chorus:
C majorC      FF     Bb majorBb
This is the time to remember
        Eb MajorEb      FF
Cause it will not last forever
C majorC      FF     Bb majorBb
These are the days to hold on to
        Eb MajorEb      FF
Cause we won't although we'll want to
  Bb majorBb      Bb/Ab
This is the time
        Gm7Gm7   Gm7/FGm7/F
But time is gonna change
         Eb MajorEb
You've given me the best of you
           FF
And now I need the rest of you

🎸 Verse:
Dm7Dm7        Bb majorBb     C majorC   FF
So we embrace again beyond the dunes
Dm7Dm7        Bb majorBb     FF   C majorC
This beach is so cold on winter afternoons
Dm7Dm7        Bb majorBb     C majorC   FF
ah but holding you close is like holding the summer sun
Dm7Dm7        Bb majorBb     FF     C majorC
a long from the memory from the days to come
Dm7Dm7      C majorC       Bb majorBb       C majorC
Sometimes it's so easy to let a day slip on by
Dm7Dm7  C majorC      Bb majorBb       C majorC
without even seeing each other at all
Dm7Dm7      C majorC       Bb majorBb       C majorC
but this the time you turn back to so so blind
Dm7Dm7   C majorC      Bb majorBb       C majorC
those will be days you can never recall.
