If I only had the words to tell you
A/C# Bm7 G7 E7
If you only had the time to understand
A A/C# D
Though I know it wouldn’t change your feelings
A/C# Bm7 E7 A C E7
And I know you’ll carry on the best you can
A A/C# D
If I only had the urge to tell you
A/C# Bm7 E7 G7 E7
If you only knew how hard it is to say
A A/C# D
When the simple lines have all been taken
A/C# Bm7 E7 A G11 G7
And the radio repeats them every day
C C/E F
If I never find the song to sing you
C/E Dm7 Bb9 G7
If you always find it hard to comprehand
C C/E Fmaj7 F C/E
Well you know there wouldn’t be much meaning
Dm7 G11 C
If I had to sing those tired words again
C C/E F
If I only had the words to tell you
C/E Dm7 Bb9 G7
If you only had the time to understand
C C/E Fmaj7 F C/E
But I only have these arms to hold you
Dm7 G11 C
And it’s all that you can ask of any man
If I only had the words to tell you
A/C# Bm7 G7 E7
If you only had the time to understand
