Dont Want To Miss A Thing(Chords)

	        I Don't Want To Miss A Thing 
Written by:  Dianne Warren 
Recorded by Mark Chesnutt on 'I Don't Want To Miss A Thing' 
and Aerosmith on 'The Armageddon Soundtrack' 
Transcribed by:  Donny Haltom 
 
I think Mark plays it in G.  Aerosmith plays it in D. 
VERSE: 
G                 D/F#                  Em 
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing 
C                             G 
Watch you smile while you are sleeping 
Am 
While you're far away and dreaming 
G                  D/F#              Em 
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender 
C                      G           Am 
I could stay lost in this moment forever 
Bm            C 
Where every moment spent with you 
D 
Is a moment I treasure 
CHORUS: 
G                   D/F# 
I don't wanna close my eyes 
Am                 C 
I don't wanna fall asleep 
G 
'Cause I'd miss you 
D                             G             D 
And I don't wanna miss a thing 
G                             D/F# 
'Cause even when I dream of you 
Am                                  C 
The sweetest dream will never do 
G 
I'd still miss you 
D                            G            D/F#            Am (hold) 
And I don't wanna miss a thing 
VERSE II 
G                   D/F#                     Em 
Lying close to you, feeling your heart beating 
C                                G 
And I'm wondering what your dreaming 
Am 
Wondering if it's me your seeing 
G                             D/F#                    Em 
And then I kiss your eyes, and thank God we're together 
Bm           C 
I just wanna stay with you 
D 
In this moment forever 
CHORUS 
BRIDGE: 
F 
I don't wanna miss one smile 
C 
I don't wanna miss one kiss 
Eb 
Well, I just wanna be with you, right here with you 
Bb 
Just like this 
F 
I just wanna hold you close 
C 
Feel your heart so close to mine 
Gm 
And just stay here in this moment 
D 
For all the rest of time 
CHORUS 
 
I think that's pretty close, at least that's the way I play it.  Let me know 
if there's any corrections. 
This is a great version of a great song.  It was originally written for 
Barbara Streisand, but I like it anyway.
