Em7 A7 DM7 B9 Em7 A7 A7+5 D Bm7 Em7
If they asked me, I could write a book
A7 D F#m Bm7 Cdim Em7 G/B A7
About the way you walk and whisper and look;
Em7 A7 D Bb7 Em G7 Bm7 E7-9 A
I could write a preface on how we met
B7 Em B+ Bm7 Bm7-5 E7 Am7 A7
So the world would never forget;
Em7 A7 DM7 B9 Em7 A7 D Bm7 Em7
And the sim - ple secret of the plot
A7 C C/B A7 D Cdim Em7 G/B A7
Is just to tell them that I love you a lot.
Em7 A7 D D+ A A9 A7 Am7 D7 G
Then the world dis - cov - ers as my book ends
Gm C#7 D B Em7 A7 D
How to make two lovers of friends.
