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 G5 . Aerosmith plays it in D5 . VERSE: G5 D5 E5 I could stay awake just to hear you breathing C5 G5 Watch you smile while you are sleeping A5 While you're far away and dreaming G5 D5 E5 I could spend my life in this sweet surrender C5 G5 A5 I could stay lost in this moment forever B5 C5 Where every moment spent with you D5 Is a moment I treasure CHORUS: G5 D5 I don't wanna close my eyes A5 C5 I don't wanna fall asleep G5 'Cause I'd miss you D5 G5 D5 And I don't wanna miss a thing G5 D5 'Cause even when I dream of you A5 C5 The sweetest dream will never do G5 I'd still miss you D5 G5 D5 A5 (hold) And I don't wanna miss a thing VERSE II G5 D5 E5 Lying close to you, feeling your heart beating C5 G5 And I'm wondering what your dreaming A5 Wondering if it's me your seeing G5 D5 E5 And then I kiss your eyes, and thank God we're together B5 C5 I just wanna stay with you D5 In this moment forever CHORUS BRIDGE: F5 I don't wanna miss one smile C5 I don't wanna miss one kiss Eb5 Well, I just wanna be with you, right here with you Bb5 Just like this F5 I just wanna hold you close C5 Feel your heart so close to mine G5 And just stay here in this moment D5 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.
