Alternative, maybe easier, version:
  • Transpose the chords 2 half steps down [ -2 ]
  • Put a capo on fret 2 to stay in the same key

Some simple fingerpicking will do the trick.

Verse:
         D
Shut the door turn the light off
            A
I wanna be with you

I wanna feel your love
            Bm
I wanna be beside you
                                  G
I cannot hide this even though I try

Verse:
            D
Hard beats harder

Time escapes me
          A
Trembling hands touch skin
                  Bm
It makes this harder
                              G
And the tears stream down my face
Bm           A               D                G
If we could only have this life for one more day
BAm           A              G
If we could only turn back time

Chorus:
              D
You know I'll be
                                     A
Your life, your voice your reason to be

My love, my heart
                 Bm
Is breathing for this

Moment in time
                        G
I'll find the words to say

Before you leave me today

Verse:
         D
Close the door

Throw the key
                A
Don't wanna be reminded

Don't wanna be seen
               Bm
Don't wanna be without you

My judgement is clouded
                G
Like the night sky
     D
Undecided

Voice is numb
              A
Try to scream out my lungs
                      Bm
But it makes this harder
                              G
And the tears stream down my face
Bm           A              D                 G
If we could only have this life for one more day
Bm           A              G
If we could only turn back time

Chorus:
              D
You know I'll be
                                     A
Your life, your voice your reason to be

My love, my heart
                 Bm
Is breathing for this

Moment in time
                        G
I'll find the words to say

Before you leave me today

Bridge:
Bm                  A
Flashes left in my mind
                  D
Going back to the time
                        G
Playing games in the street
                       Bm
Kicking balls with my feet
                   A
Dancing on with my toes
                       D
Standing close to the edge
                                   G            Bm
There's a pile of my clothes at the end of your bed
                  A
As I feel myself fall
                   G
Make a joke of it all

Chorus:
              D
You know I'll be
                                     A
Your life, your voice your reason to be

My love, my heart
                 Bm
Is breathing for this

Moment in time
                        G
I'll find the words to say

Before you leave me today

Chorus:
              D
You know I'll be
                                     A
Your life, your voice your reason to be

My love, my heart
                 Bm
Is breathing for this

Moment in time
                        G
I'll find the words to say

Before you leave me today
