Lyrics

Can you tell (G)think me

we’re just who called a (C)race?

Can an y one stay in one (Em)place?

And when you get to the fin ish line

will you wish for more time?

Or say, one (G)who day,

one day you (C)will,

but may be one day you will find

that you just can’t push re wind.

All we have is this mo ment.

To mor row’s un spo ken.

Yes ter day is his to (G)ry,

so why don’t you be here with (Csus2)me?

All we have is this mo ment

to put our love in to mo tion.

Yes ter day is his to (G)ry

so why don’t you be here with (C)me?

Be here with me (G)now.

Do you ev er (G)think that

we’re just chas ing our (C)tails?

Like life is one big fast tread (Em)mill

And and we pop what the is pre scribed

if it gets us first prize.

But you know (G)who I,

who think will (C)win

but are the ones that let love in,

are the ones that take the time.

All we have is this mo ment.

To mor row’s un spo ken.

Yes ter day is his to (G)ry,

so why don’t you be here with (Csus2)me?

All we have is this mo ment

to put our love in to mo tion.

Yes ter day is his to (G)ry

so why don’t you be here with (C)me?

Be here with me (G)now.

Do you ev er Be here with me now.

Be (G)here with me (C)now.

’Cause (C)the fu ture (Em)is right now, right in front of (G)you.

(C)Don’t let the (Em)clock, the clock tell you what to do.

(C)The fu ture (Em)is right now, I’m in front of (G)you.

(C)Ba by, don’t (Em)blink and miss

this (Gsus)mo (G)ment.

To mor row is un (G)spo ken.

Yes ter day is his to ry,

so why don’t you be here with (C)me?

All we have is this (G)mo ment

to put our love in to mo tion.

Yes ter day is his to (G)ry,

so why don’t you be here with (Csus2)me?

Be here with me (G)now.
