[Intro] Em Em Em Em Em Em Em F#7 [Verse 1]
   Bm A          G
If I caught the world in a bottle

 C#m7b5    F#        Bm      A     G
everything was still beneath the moon

 C#m7b5                    F#   C#m7b5  F#
Without your love would it shine for me?

   Bm    A        G
If I was smart as Aristotle

    C#m7b5 F#      Bm      A        G
And understood the rings around the moon

     C#m7b5                 F#      C#m7b5  F#
What would it all matter if you loved me?
[Chorus]
             Em    Em/D     A7/C#     A         Dmaj7  Dmaj7/C#
Here in your arms where the world is impossibly still

       Bm      Bm/A        G#dim
With a million dreams to fulfil

      G                   F#       C#m7b5 F#
And a matter of moments until the dancing ends

             Em    Em/D    A7/C#     A         Dmaj7  Dmaj7/C#
Here in your arms when everything seems to be clear

      Bm        Bm/A         G#dim
Not a solitary thing would I fear

  G                             F#      C#m7b5    F#
Except when this moment comes near the dancing's end
[Verse 2]
   Bm  A        G
If I caught the world in an hourglass

C#m7b5  F#     Bm      A        G
Saddled up the moon so we could ride

  C#m7b5  Bm   Bm/A A7/G#   G
Until the stars grew dim, until...

Cm  Cm7/Bb    Ab
One day you'll meet a stranger

    Dm7b5      G       Cm       Cm7/Bb   Ab
And all the noise is silenced in the room

       Dm7b5                         G  Dm7b5 G
You'll feel that you're close to some mystery

       Cm  Cm7/Bb        Ab
In the moonlight and everything shatters

    Dm7b5      G        Cm      Cm7/Bb    Ab
You feel as if you've known her all your life

    Dm7b5                       G  Dm7b5  G
The world's oldest lesson in history
[Chorus]
             Fm    Fm/Eb    Bb7/D     Bb       Ebmaj7  Ebmaj7/D
Here in your arms where the world is impossibly still

       Cm      Cm7/Bb     Abdim
With a million dreams to fulfil

  Ab7                 G       Dm7b5    G
matter of moments until the dancing ends

             Fm    Fm/Eb    Bb7/D     Bb       Ebmaj7  Ebmaj7/D
Here in your arms when everything seems to be clear

      Cm       Cm7/Bb       Adim
Not a solitary thing would I fear

  Ab7                 G                Dm7b5    G
Except when this moment comes near the dancing's end
Dm7b5 G Dm7b5 [Outro]
   Cm  Cm/Bb     Ab
If I caught the world in an hourglass

Dm7b5   G     Cm   Cm7/Bb      Ab
Saddled up the moon so we could ride

  Dm7b5    Cm   Cm/Bb  Bb7/A
Until the stars grew dim

G#Maj7      Dm7b5 Cm  Cm/Bb    Bb7/A  Ab6      Dm7b5
Until the time that time stands still, until...
rallentando... Cm
