G      Em      D      C


[Verse 1]
G           Em                      D                C
  Isn't it funny how times seems to slip away    so fast
G                   Em                      D          C
  One minute you're happy the other you're sad
             G                Em                  D               C
  But if you give me one more chance to show my love for you is true
G                   Em                   D
I'll stand by your side your whole life through


[Chorus]
              G                    D
If life is so short, why won't you let me love you
   Em                 C
Before we run out of time
               G                    D
If love is so strong, why won't you take the chance
   Em                C
Before our time has come
               G      D
If life is so short
                Em     C
If life is so short


[Verse 2]
G            Em                        D                C
   Love is a word that explains how I feel         for you
G                  Em            D                  C
   And when you're in my arms    all my dreams come   true
G                  Em          D                 C
   And when you're not around, you can't hardly see
G                      Em                  D
  These tears that I'm crying now are for you to be with me


[Chorus]
              G                    D
If life is so short, why won't you let me love you
   Em                 C
Before we run out of time
               G                    D
If love is so strong, why won't you take the chance
   Em                C
Before our time has come
               G      D
If life is so short
                Em     C
If life is so short


[Interlude]
G       D      Em      C


[Verse 3]
G            Em                        D                C
   Love is a word that explains how I feel         for you
G                  Em            D                  C
   And when you're in my arms    all my dreams come   true
G                  Em          D                 C
   And when you're not around, you can't hardly see
G                      Em                  D
  These tears that I'm crying now are for you to be with me


[Chorus]
              G                    D
If life is so short, why won't you let me love you
   Em                 C
Before we run out of time
               G                    D
If love is so strong, why won't you take the chance
   Em                C
Before our time has come
               G      D
If life is so short
                Em     C
If life is so short
G        D                 Em          C
            If life is so short
G        D                 Em          C          G
            If life is so short
