G                                      Bm
I found myself dreaming. Of silver and gold.
Em                            C
Like a scene from movie. That every broken heart knows.
G                                            Bm
We were walking on moonlight. When you held me close.
Em                                        C
Split second and you disappeared. And then I was all alone.


   G                    G               Bm                     Bm
I woke up in tears with you by my side. Breathe of relief and I realized.
Em           C                
No, we're not promised tomorrow.


             G                       Bm
*So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you.
          Em                        C
I'm gonna hold you, like I'm saying goodbye.
               G                             Bm
Wherever we're standing, I won't take you for granted.
                Em                                 C
Cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of time.
            G                       Bm
So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you.
            Em                       C       
So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you*


G                      Bm
In the blink of an eye. Just a whisper of smoke.
Em                              C
You could lose everything. The truth is you never know.
G                           Bm
So I'll kiss you longer baby. Any chance that I get.
Em                                      C
And I'll make the most of the minutes. And love with no regret.


    G                                    G
So let's take the time to say what we want.
Bm                            Bm       
Use what we got before it's all gone.
Em            C                   
No, we're not promised tomorrow.
