Guitar 🎸 Solo:
Dm C Bb Dm x4

🎸 Verse:
Dm7               Bb         C     F
We walked on the beach beside that old hotel
Dm7               Bb
They're tearing it down now
F               C
But it's just as well
Dm7               Bb           C     F
I haven't shown you everything a man can do
Dm7               Bb
So stay with me baby
     F               C
I've got plans for you

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

🎸 Verse:
Dm7               Bb         C     F
So we embrace again beyond the dunes
Dm7               Bb         F     C
This beach is so cold on winter afternoons
Dm7               Bb         C     F
ah but holding you close is like holding the summer sun
Dm7               Bb         F          C
a long from the memory from the days to come
Dm7            C              Bb             C
Sometimes it's so easy to let a day slip on by
Dm7    C           Bb              C
without even seeing each other at all
Dm7           C              Bb              C
but this the time you turn back to so so blind
Dm7     C           Bb              C
those will be days you can never recall.

Did you know that before you came into my life
Dm7            Bb             F      C
It was some kind of miracle that I survived
Dm7            Bb                 C     F
Some day we will both look back and have to laugh
Dm7         Bb                 F     C
We lived through a lifetime and the aftermath
