Time In A Bottle (c) Jim Croce - Acoustic Guitar Unplugged Cover
\"Time in a Bottle\" is a hit single by singer-songwriter Jim Croce. Croce wrote the lyrics after his wife Ingrid told him she was pregnant with his son, Adrian, in December 1970.[1] It appeared on his 1972 ABC debut album You Don't Mess Around with Jim. ABC originally did not intend to release the song as a single; but when Croce was killed in a plane crash in September 1973, the song's lyrics, dealing with mortality and the wish to have more time, had additional resonance. The song subsequently received a large amount of airplay as an album track and demand for a single release built. When it was eventually issued as a 7\", it became his second and final No. 1 hit.
Dm Dmj7 Dm7 Dm6
If I could save time in a bottle
Gm6 A7
The first thing that I'd like to do
Dm Dm7 Bb Gm7 Dm
Is to save every day till eternity passes away
Gm A7
Just to spend them with you.
Dm Dmj7 Dm7 Dm6
If I could make days last forever
Gm6 A7
If words could make wishes come true
Dm Dm7 Bb Gm7
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
dm Gm A7
Again, I would spend them with you.

Chorus: But there never seems to be enough time
D6 D G Gmaj7
To do the things you want to do once you find them
Em7 A7 D Dmaj7
I've looked around enough to know
D6 D G Gmaj7 Em7 A7
That you're the one I want to go through time with.
Dm Dm(maj7) Dm7 Dm6
If I had a box just for wishes
Gm6 A7
And dreams that had never come true
Dm Dm7 B- Gm7 Dm
The box would be empty except for the memory
Gm A7
Of how they were answered by you
