VERSE 1:

          D         A                 Bm

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing,

            G                   D

Watch you smile while you are sleeping,

               Em            A

While you are far away and dreaming.

          D           A                 Bm

I could spend my life in this sweet surrender,

          G                D        A

I could stay lost in this moment forever,

               G        D                   A

Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure.

CHORUS:

D                 A            Em

  I don't wanna close my eyes,

               G

I don't wanna fall asleep,

         Bm

Cause I miss you baby,

       A                   D

And I don't wanna miss a thing,

                     A           Em

'Cause even when I dream of you,

                         G

The sweetest dream will never do,

         Bm

I still miss you baby

    A                          D

And I don't wanna miss a thing.

VERSE 2:

        D            A                  Bm

Lying close to you, feeling your heart beating,

         G                       D

And I'm wondering what you're dreaming,

          Em                 A

Wondering if it's me you're seeing.

        D                   A                Bm

Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together,

                 G       D                     A

I just want to stay with you in this moment forever,

Forever and ever.

[CHORUS]

BREAK:

                   C

And I don't wanna miss one smile,

               G

I don't wanna miss one kiss,

                A#

I just want to be with you, right here with you,

            F

Right here just like this.

                C

I just want to hold you close,

                       G

I feel your heart so close to mine

           Dm

And just stay here in this moment,

             E5

For all the rest of time, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeeeaaah.

[CHORUS] (x2)

CODA:

   D            A            Em

I don't wanna close my eyes,

               G            Bm

I don't wanna fall asleep, yeah

       A                        D

And I don’t wanna miss a thing.
