             E
It's now or never,
             F#m
come hold me tight
            B7
Kiss me my darling,
           E
be mine tonight
  Am                  Em E
Tomorrow will be too late,
             B7
it's now or never
               E
My love won't wait.

              E
When I first saw you
                    F#m
with your smile so tender
              B7
My heart was captured,
         E
my soul surrendered
I'd spend a lifetime
                F#m
waiting for the right time
               E
Now that your near
             B7      E
the time is here at last.

             E
It's now or never,
             F#m
come hold me tight
            B7
Kiss me my darling,
         E
be mine tonight
  Am                  Em E
Tomorrow will be too late,
             B7
it's now or never
               E
My love won't wait.

Just like a willow,
we would cry an ocean
If we lost true love
and sweet devotion
Your lips excite me,
let your arms invite me
For who knows when
we'll meet again this way

             E
It's now or never,
             F#m
come hold me tight
            B7
Kiss me my darling,
           E
be mine tonight
Am                   Em E
Tomorrow will be too late,
             B7
it's now or never
               E
My love won't wait.
