Intro: E F# A B
E F# A
The seconds run away, minutes passed
B E
At speeds we can run at
F# A
As hours start to fade deep into night
B E (whole song like this)
I'm not in the mood for laughing
It's slipping away
There's nothing we can do
It's slipping away
There's no tomorrow without you
I wish these 24 hours
Would never end
Oh in these 24 hours
Wish the clock had no hand
24 hours
We still have time
For 24 hours
You're still mine
If this isn't real, just can't deal
In a way you could say I was always a cynic
Hopeful for a while, lost in denial
I wish this could last forever
It's slipping away
There's nothing we can do
It's slipping away
There's no tomorrow without you
It's slipping away
There's nothing we can do
It's slipping away
There's no tomorrow without you
I wish these 24 hours
Would never end
Oh in these 24 hours
Wish the clock had no hand
24 hours
We still have time
If 24 hours
You're still mine
I wish these 24 hours
Would never end
I won't tell no one
I won't tell no one
I won't tell no one
Cause in 24 hours
Cause in 24 hours
You'll be gone
You'll be gone
You'll be gone
In 24 hours
In 24 hours
We still have time
For 24 hours
You're still mine
I wish these 24 hours
Would never end
I wish these 24 hours
Would never end
Oh, in these 24 hours
Wish to forget nothing
