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 B5+ Bm7 Bm5-/7 E7 Am7 A7
So the world would never forget
Em7 A7 D7M B9 Em7 A7 D Bm7 Em7
And the simple 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.

Then the world discovers as my book ends
