Billy Joel - If i only had the words to tell you

If I o^Anly had the ^A/C#words to ^Dtell you ^A/C# If you ^Bm7only had the time to under^G7stand ^E7 Though I ^Aknow it wouldn’t ^A/C#change your ^Dfeelings ^A/C# And I ^Bm7know you’ll carry ^E7on the best you ^Acan ^{C E7}

If I ^Aonly had the ^A/C#urge to ^Dtell you ^A/C# If you ^Bm7only knew how hard it is to ^G7say ^E7 When the ^Asimple lines have ^A/C#all been ^Dtaken ^A/C# And the ^A/C#radio re^Bm7peats them every ^E7day ^{A G7}

If I ^Cnever find the ^C/Esong to ^Fsing you ^C/E If you ^Dm7always find it hard to compre^Bb7hend ^G7 Well you ^Cknow there wouldn’t ^C/Ebe much ^Fmeaning ^C/E If I ^Dm7had to sing those ^G7tired words a^Cgain

^E7Life.^E7/F#.. goes ^E7on and ^Amon And to^Gnight.^C.. will ^Gsoon be ^Cgone ^Cmaj7 But if we ^Fmaj7try ^Em7 We can be ^Dm7sure ^{Gsus4 G Gsus2 G}

If I ^Conly had the ^C/Ewords to ^Ftell you ^C/E If you ^Dm7only had the time to under^Bb7stand ^G7 But I ^Conly have these ^C/Earms to ^Fhold you ^C/E And it’s ^Dm7all that you can ^G7ask of any ^Cman ^{F G}
