_ [F] _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
[Bb] _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [A] _ _
[Em] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[Dm] _ [Gm] _ What if _
_ [C] I turned [Cm] back the clock?
[Ebm] I wonder [Gm] would I?
[C]
Baby [Cm] that's something I'd never [F] try.
[Dm] Cause if anything was meant [B] to be, it was meant [Gm] to be. _ _ _ _
_ _ Just [Am] supposing _ [A] is a waste [D] of time I play [Gm] on _ [Bb] words.
Which [C] I'll try.
I _ [Dm] _
[Gm] know _ [C] guessing _ _ [A] is a foolish game [Am] like [Gm] everything.
_ _ Magic and [A] live, _ [Cm] sometimes I wonder.
[Dm] _ _ What if _ [A] one early morning waiting on [D] a slow [Bb] late train, I saw somebody I knew [A] I'd love to see again.
And he said he wanted to know my [Gm] name.
I wouldn't play [Fm] that game.
_ It's poignant [Bbm] and sad how I was back [C] then.
I tried to keep my emotions in [Cm] control.
Even [D] tried to imprison my soul.
[Gm] I was afraid to take a [Bb] chance.
Afraid to take [Bbm] a risk.
I guess that's why [C] I'm sitting here [Gm] today wondering.
What if, [Bb] and [Am] _ _ _ [Cm] _
if [Gm] you loved another?
[Cm] _
I don't know [G] why you'd bother.
[Bb] Cause the one [A] thing I know is [B] true is my [Gm] love for you. _ _ _
_ Just [Am] supposing _
[G] _ is a [Dm] waste of time I [Gm] play on words.
Ooh yeah, a [C] childish _ [D] rhyme.
And [Gm] I know _ [Am] guessing _
[Dbm] is a [Dm] foolish game like everything.
_ _ Magic [Em] and live, [Cm] sometimes I [Dm] wonder.
_ What if [E] _ _ [A] once in another [C] place and another time
There was a man I'll [Cm] call A and another [F] I'll call B.
Oh [Dm] they both had qualities which appealed to [E] me.
But I [Bb] chose A.
[C] I can't tell you why.
[Am] Because when B turned to [D] leave I started to cry.
I [Gm] turned my back to hide my tears.
But B [E] has lived in my [Eb] heart all these [Dm] years.
What if, and _
[A] _ _ [D] it keeps tumbling through my [Gm] mind.
_ [Dm] What if, _ [A] it's a puzzle to [D] me.
I think I'm _
[Gm] _ gonna try. _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ What if you [Db] appeared in my [Bbm] arms as [Eb] frequently as you [Am] appeared in my dreams?
What if my bedtime [Ebm] wishes could be acted out in real life as they are [Gm] in my dream machine?
But that won't happen [Bbm] because you belong to another.
[Eb] _ And [Gm] you're faithful and you're true.
[C] And I have to say despite [Db] my needs that's what I love about [D] you.
Just [Gm] a little _ [Am] _ thing [A] is a waste of [Dm] time.
I'm afraid [Gm] your _ _ [Bb] words are trying [C] to drive me.
_ [Dm] _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[Db] [A] It's a foolish [Dm] game like [Gm] everything.
_ _ Magic and [A] live, _ _ [F] sometimes I wonder.
_ _ What if, _
[D] _ _ what if, _
[Bb] _ _ what if. _
[Am] Keep on tumbling in my [D] mind. _
[Gm] _ _ _ [Dm] _ Oh, [D] _ you're like a demon.
[Gm] _
_ You're a demon in my _
[C] _ _ _ [D] head. _
[Dm] _ What _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
[Bb] _ _ if. _ _
[C] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
