Intro: A  D  Esus4 E

Verse 1:
        A
She's a flower among the weeds
                    D        Esus4 E
More beautiful than any rose
           A
I put the creases in her shoes
                        Dmaj7 D Esus4 E
She put the crinkle in my nose
      A
I'll have wrinkles when I'm young
                      Dmaj7   D  E Esus4 E
From all the laughing I suppose
          A
And I'll hold your heart forever
              D         E
Long after I propose, oh

Chorus:
 A
Hold her while you can
                          D               E
'Cause someday you won't get the chance
 A
Cherish every moment
                     D
And all the time you spend
             A                                     D
'Cause this life will all be ovеr, my love for you won't end
         Gbm
So I'll hold her whilе I can
                        D                        A     Dmaj7 D
'Til the one day that I get the chance again

Verse 2:
         A
She's a doll at 83
                      Dmaj7 D
Acting like we both just met
 A
Reminding me of times
                     Dmaj7  D
That I swore I'd not forget
        A
Now I'm 85 years old
                     D
Alone lying on this bed
             A
Missing the sound of her voice
                          D
And the three words that she once said

Chorus:
 A
Hold her while you can
                          D
'Cause someday you won't get the chance
  A
Cherish every moment
                Dmaj7    D
And all the time you spend
             A                                      D
'Cause this life will all be over, my love for you won't end
        Gbm
So I'll hold her while I can
                     Em  D
'Til the one day that I get the chance again
