[Ab]
If you were a bluebird, you'd be a sad one I'd give you [Db] a true one, what you already
had If you [Ab] were a bluebird, you'd be [Eb]
crying, [Db] you'd
[Bbm] be [Ab] flying home If you were a raindrop, you'd shine like a
rainbow And if you were [Db] a train stop, the conductor
would sing love If you [Ab] were a raindrop, you'd [Eb] be falling,
[Db] you'd be [Ab] calling home
[Db]

[Eb] [Db]
[Ab] If you were a hotel, honey, you'd be a grand
one But if you hit [Db] a slope, do you think you could
stay?
If you [Ab] were a hotel, well, I'd lean [Eb] on your
doorbell, [Db] I'd [Ab] call you my home
If I was a highway, I'd stretch alongside you
I'd help you [Db] pass by waves that had dissatisfied you
If I [Ab] was a highway, well, I'd [Eb] be stretching, [Db] I'd be touching [Ab] you
