  			C   Am7     D7/9  D7/9/F#  G6     G/F#  E7  
If they had  ev  -  er    told me      
 
Am7         Cdim  D9   Bm7/5-  E7 
How sweet a kiss could  be, 
 
C  C/B       Am7   Cdim  G6              G/F#  Em7 
I would have said, "Im - pos - si - ble,  
 
     Am7            Cdim D7/9  G6    E 
Im - pos - si - ble       for  me." 
 
 
C   Am7     D7/9 D7/9/F#  G6       G/F#  E7  
And if they said  I'd    find you  
 
Am7        Cdim    D9   Bm7/5-  E7 
Beyond the rain - bow's end, 
 
C  C/B       Am7   Cdim  G6              G/F#  Em7 
I would have said, "Im - pos - si - ble,  
 
Am7                  Cdim   G 
Im - pos - si - ble,  my friend." 
 
 
Bridge: 
 
Fdim   Am7  D7/9  D9    G  G/F#      Em7    
To   dream about what might    have been 
 
     Am7     D9       G 
Is strange enough for me; 
 
    Cdim     B7      D7/9   G 
But now it seems I'm living in 
 
    E      Bm7/5-       Cdim    D9   D7  
A dream too beau - ti - ful to be. 
 
 
C   Am7     D7/9 D7/9/F#  G6      G/F# E7  
If they had said   a     moonbeam          
 
Am7          Cdim   D9 Bm7/5-  E7 
Could calm a stor - my  sea, 
 
C  C/B       Am7   Cdim  G6              G/F#  Em7 
I would have said, "Im - pos - si - ble,  
 
    Am7   D7/9   Bm7/5-   E7 
But now at last I see 
 
C    C/B    Am7 Cdim  G6              G/F#  Em7 
That nothing is  im - pos - si - ble  
 
   Am7     A7   D7/9 G 
If you are here with me.
