If I only had the words to tell you 
          Cm7		         Ab7        F7 
If you only had the time to understand 
                  Bb                     Bb/D              Eb          Bb/D       
Though I know it wouldn?t change your feelings 
          Cm7                   F7(sus4)             Bb         Db     F7

Bb	           Bb/D      Eb           Bb/D 
If I only had the urge to tell you 
          Cm7                  F7(sus4)     Ab7         F7 
If you only knew how hard it is to say 
                 Bb                       Bb/D      Eb         Bb/D 
When the simple lines have all been taken

And the radio repeats them ev?ry day. 
 
       Db                  Db/F     Gb          Db/F 
If I never find the song to sing you 
           Ebm7                                     B9         Ab7 
If you always find it hard to comprehend

Well, you know there wouldn?t be much meaning 
      Ebm7                   Ab11            Db 
If I had to sing those tired words again. 
 
F7   Bbm       F7         Bbm 
Life        goes on and on 
           Ab       Db   Ab         Db 
And tonight      will soon be gone 
              Gbmaj7  Fm7                    Ebm7           Ab11     Ab7 
But if we try                  we can be sure. 
 
      Db                Db/F       Gb        Db/F 
If I only had the words to tell you 
        Ebm7                                   Db9         Ab7 
If you only had the time to understand 
         Db                      Db/F     Gbmaj7    Gb  Db/F 
But I only have these arms to hold you 
             Ebm7               Ab11         Db 
And it?s all that you can ask of any man.
