     I DON'T WANT TO MISS A THING   Mark Chestnut

Bb                                    Eb
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
           F     
Watch you smile while you're sleeping
             Bb              F
While you're far away and dreaming
         Bb                           Eb
I could spend my life in the sweet surrender
         F                            Eb
I could stay lost in this moment for-ever
               F        Bb                      F   
Every moment spent with you is a moment I trea-sure

CHORUS:

Bb              F          Eb                      
I don't wanna close my eyes I don't wanna fall asleep
Eb                               F                 Bb
Cause  I miss you (babe) And I don't wanna miss a thing
Bb                   F                Eb   
'Cause even when I dream of you  The sweetest dream will never do
Eb                       F                  Bb   1.)Eb F  2.) go to bridge
I'd sure miss you and I don't wanna miss a thing

Bb                                         Eb
Lying close to you and feeling your heart beating
          F
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming  
              Eb             F 
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
        Bb                  F                  Eb
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're to-gether
               F       Bb                      F   
I just wanna stay with you in this moment for-ever  Go to chorus, bridge

BRIDGE:
               G#                           Gm 
I don't wanna miss one smile I don't wanna miss one kiss
             F#                              Fm
I just wanna be with you right here with you just like this
              G#                           Eb
I just wanna hold you close and feel your heart so close to mine
          C#                              Eb  
And just stay in this moment for all the rest of time  
(note: feels like a key change but isn't) 
Bb            F           Eb  
Don't wanna close my eyes I don't wanna fall asleep
Eb                             F                  Bb
Cause  I miss you babe  And I don't wanna miss a thing
