[Verse 1]
            D               Em
  Could you spare me just a moment
C                       G          Am  D
  Cause I don’t want to waste your time
B7                     Em
  Before you leave I’d like to tell you
A7                       D
  A few things that’s on my mind

[Verse 2]
G           D              Em
  You don’t want me to say I love you
C           G Am                   D
  So I won’t     but you know I do
B7                       Em
  I can’t change the way you’re feeling
A7                  D
  Or the way I feel for you

[Chorus]
G         D            C
  I’m not asking for a lifetime
G            D                 C  D
  Just time enough for love to die
G                D              C    G
  I’m not asking you to stay forever
Am            D            G       D C
   Just long enough to say goodbye

[Verse 3]
G         D            Em
  I could paint a thousand pictures
C G                Am                      D
    But then honey you don’t have the time
B7                         Em
   But could make just one more memory
A7                   D
   I can carry in my mind

[Chorus]
G         D            C
  I’m not asking for a lifetime
G            D                 C  D
  Just time enough for love to die
G                D              C    G
  I’m not asking you to stay forever
Am            D            G      C D
   Just long enough to say goodbye

[Outro]
G                D              C    Bm7
  I’m not asking you to stay forever
Am           D     N.C.           G   C D C   G
  Just long enough to say goodbye
