Billy Joel — If I Only Had the Words (to Tell You)
If I Only Had the Words (To Tell You)
DEAE7
Intro
AA/C#D
If I only had the words to tell you
A/C#Bm7G7E7
If you only had the time to understand
AA/C#D
Though I know it wouldn?t change your feelings
A/C#Bm7E7AE7
And I know you?ll carry on the best you can
AA/C#D
If I only had the urge to tell you
A/C#Bm7G7E7
If you only knew how hard it is to say
AA/C#D
When the simple lines have all been taken
A/C#Bm7E7AG7
And the radio repeats them every day
CC/EF
If I never find the song to sing you
C/EDm7Bb7G7
If you always find it hard to comprehend
CC/EF
Well you know there wouldn?t be much meaning
C/EDm7G7C
If I had to sing those tired words again
E7AmE7Am
Life... goes on and on
GCGC
And tonight... will soon be gone
FmaEm7
But if we try
Dm7Gsus2
We can be sure
CC/EF
If I only had the words to tell you
C/EDm7Bb7G7
If you only had the time to understand
CC/EF
But I only have these arms to hold you
C/EDm7G7CG
And it?s all that you can ask of any man
CFBbDmG
Laa laa la la la laa la la la
REPEAT LAST VERSE
