By:   Mark Sholtez

[intro:]
|Em7  (D)(C)|B7   |Em7  (D)(C)|B7   |   {(D) and (C) re bass passing notes}
|Em7  (D)(C)|B7   |Em7  (D)(C)|B7   |

[verse: 1]
   |Am7            |
If you were a dream
                  |Em7            |
I wonder how many hours I'd sleep
    |Am7                           |
How hard it would be to wake up and how
 |Em7         |  
Easy to fall

   |Am7               |
If you were a dream
                            |Em7        |
There would be nothing else I'd to see
   |Am7                |     
No reason to ever have opened
   |Bsus4      |B7
My eyes at all

[chorus: 1]
  |Em7                  
If you were a song
|B7                   |Em7                
  Every word would be etched in my memory
|B7                 |Em7            
  Every note of the delicate melody 
|B7                   |Em      |B7
 Would be there on my head

[chorus: 2]
   |Em7          
If you were a song
|B7                    |Em7      
  I would practice you night and day
|B7             |Em7         
 Until perfectly I could play
|B7    |Am9     |    
 You by heart

[verse: 2]
      |Am7          |
If you were the sun
                       |Em7             |
I couldn't bear have a cloud between us
    |Am7                             |
I'd search for a place where they say that the rain 
|Em7          |
Never falls

   |Am7               |
If you were the moon
      |Em7                          |
Every night my eyes would be fixed on you
      |Am7                     |         
Never close for one moment from dusk 'till
          |Bsus         |B7
The first light of dawn

[chorus: 3]
  |Em7                  
If you were a song
|B7                   |Em7                
  Every word would be etched in my memory
|B7                 |Em7            
  Every note of the delicate melody 
|B7                   |Em      |B7
 Would be there on my head

[chorus: 4]
   |Em7          
If you were a song
|B7                    |Em7      
  I would practice you night and day
|B7             |Em7         
 Until perfectly I could play
|B7      |Am9    |    
You  by   heart

[:]       |Am7 |Em7   |    |    
     |Am7 |    |Em7   |    | 
     |Am7 |    |Em7   |    | 
     |Am7 |    |Bsus  |B7 

[chorus:]
  |Em7                  
If you were a song
|B7                   |Em7                
  Every word would be etched in my memory
|B7                 |Em7            
  Every note of the delicate melody 
|B7                  |Em7      |B7
Would be there on my head

[coda:]
       |Em7          
If you were a song
|B7                    |Em7      
  I would practice you night and day
|B7             |Em7         
 Until perfectly I could play
|B7      |Am    |     |     |  {finish}   
You  by   heart
