IF LIFE IS SO SHORT
 by The Moffatts

[INTRO]
G Em D C
G Em D C

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

[CHORUS]
[D7]          G
If life is so short
              D
Why don't you let me love you
  Em                 C
Before we run out of time 
              G
If love is so strong
              D
Why won't you take the chance
  Em                C
Before our time has gone
              G     D
If life is so short, 
              Em   C  G D
if life is so sho--rt
              Em   C
if life is so sho--rt

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

[CHORUS]
[D7]          G
If life is so short
              D
Why don't you let me love you
  Em                 C
Before we run out of time 
              G
If love is so strong
              D
Why won't you take the chance
  Em                C
Before our time has gone
              G     D
If life is so short, 
              Em   C  G D Em C
if life is so sho--rt
              Em   C
if life is so sho--rt

Why won't you take the chance
  Em                C
Before our time has gone
              G     D
If life is so short, 
              Em   C  G D
if life is so sho--rt
              Em   C  G D
if life is so sho--rt
              Em   C   G
if life is so sho--rt...
