[Verse]

Fmaj7/C                    C
    What if I was just a song?
Dm                 Am
Words on a page to sing - a song
C                      G
What if my essence was pure
Am                  E7
Pure mathematics no more
E7                    Fmaj7/C
Than a romance from a store?
Fmaj7/C                       C  
Would you still cry when I played, 
E7           Fmaj7/C
hmmm mmmm mmmhmmmm
Fmaj7/C                
Would you still turn to 
           Am 
me for the pain, 

Am/G         Am/F#
hmmm mmmm mmmhmmmm
D7               E7
If I were just a song?
 
 
[Verse]

Fmaj7/C             
Could a song, just a 
     C/G
song break you down?
Dm                           
Could a song make you want to 
   Am
go paint the whole town?
C                                 G
Could your world turn around on a phrase?
Am                          E7
Could an interval really be more
E7                     Fmaj7/C
Than the space between us?
Fmaj7/C                      C     
Would you still dance when I played, 
E7          Fmaj7/C
hmmm mmmm mmmhmmmm
Fmaj7/C                             
Would you still turn to me when the 
Am       Am/G   Am/F#
nights - grow long


D7               E7
If I were just a song?
 
 
[Verse]

Fmaj7/C                         
But of course, of course I'm more 
     C
than just a song

Dm                     Am
Baby, I'm something to be - a song
C                     G
And wasn't it you all along?
Am                     E7
Wasn't I there just to be
E7                  Fmaj7/C
Your beleaguered go-between
Fmaj7/C                    C     
There isn't a mountain too tall - 
E7            Fmaj7/C
mmmm, not for me

Fmaj7/C                 Am   
There isn't a river too deep
Am/G       Am/F#
   not for me

D7                   E7
I'm more than just a song
 
 
[Break]

Fmaj7/C            C
La la la la, la la la
Dm                Am
La la la la la la la, la la la
C                 G
La la la la la la la, la la la
Am                E7 
La la la la la la la, 
                Fmaj7/C
la la la, la la la
 
 
[Outro]

Fmaj7/C                    C      
Would you still cry when I played, 
E7           Fmaj7/C
hmmm mmmm mmmhmmmm

Fmaj7/C                
Would you still turn to 
             Am Am/G Am/F#
me for the pain

D7               E7
If I were just a song?
