  Em7 A7  D7M   B9 Em7       A7  A7/13-  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   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.  
 Em7 A7   D    D+   A A9  A7 Am7 D7   G  
Then the world discovers as my book ends  
Gm  C#7 D   B   Em7    A7       D  
How to make two lovers    of friends.
