[Verse]
 Dbmaj9                        Eb7
How do you keep the music playing?
Absus4    Abadd2   Fmadd9
How do you make it last
 Dbmaj9                        Eb7
How do you keep the song from fading
    Absus2  C7#5#9         C E Bb Eb Ab
Too fast?                  notes for chord
 
[Verse]
Fm7        Caug/F   Ab/Bb
How do you lose yourself to someone
    Ebmaj7          Cm9
And never lose your way?
Dm7b5      F/G            E/G
How do you not run out of new things
   Cm    G7/C  Cm7 D7#5/F  F+/F  Gb Bb C D          F7#5#9  A Db Eb F Ab/F
To say?                          notes for chord            notes for chord
 
[Pre Chorus]
    Bbm9                 Bbm9/Eb     Eb9
And since you know we're always changing
Abmaj7            Fm7   Fm7/Eb
How can it be the same?
Dbmaj7      Cm7      Bbm7add11
And tell me how year after year
                 Db/Eb
You're sure your heart won't fall apart

Each time you     hear his name?
 
[Chorus]
  Fm Fm C+/F       Ab/Bb                        Ebmaj7 A9#11 G+/A
I know         the way I feel for you is now or never
    Abmaj7     Fm7
The more I     love
                   Dm7b5
The more that I'm afraid
     F/G        E7/G        Cm7
That in your eyes I may not see forever
F7sus4b9  F7#5
Forever
 
[Pre Chorus]
Bbm9             Bbm9/Eb  Eb9
If we can be the best of lovers
Abmaj7             Fm7   Fm7/Eb
Yet be the best of friends
Dbmaj7    Cm7      F7sus4
If we can try with every day to make it better
      Bbm7add11   Bbm7b5
As it grows
Bbm7b5               Bb9sus4
With any luck then I suppose
    Eb7         Db/Ab Ab Abmaj7 Ebm9 Ab7add13    F# C F/Ab
The music never ends                             notes

I know
        (How do you keep the music playing?)
    Bb/C           C9            Fmaj9  F/A Bbmaj9
The way I feel for you is now or never
Bbmaj9
        (How do you make it last?)
    Bbmaj7                        Em7b5
The more I love the more that I'm afraid
 
        (How do you keep the song from fading?)
     G/A            A7          Dsus Dm D+/D F/D

Do you keep the music playing over and over?
