Mary Chapin Carpenter - What if we went to italy

^GWhat if we ^G6went^G to I^G6taly^{G G}A suitcase of ^G6books ^{G G}And one bag a ^G6piec^Ge for the sum^Cmer ^{C6 C C}I don't speak a ^C6word^C of It^Galia^G6n ^G Ex^Dcept for Campari and soda for two, how much is a lire ^DYes, a villa will do and a ^Cbre^C6eze, in Tuscany ^Gple^G6ase^G

^GWhat if we ^G6spen^Gt all of our ^G6days^{G G}Improving our ^G6mind^Gs, learning new ^G6ways^G to be la^Czy ^{C6 C C}It wouldn't be too ^C6much ^Cof a s^Gtrain^{G6 G} Re^Dlax after breakfast till lunch comes around ^DCan't wait for dinner, oh, I need to lie down ^DAnd re^Cfue^C6l, ^{C C6} ou^Ct by the p^Gool^{G6 G}

^CWhat if the ancients were ^Dlazy like us Too ^Bmblissed out to paint, to ^Emsketch or to sculpt ^AmJust as relaxed as the ^D7tower of Pisa ^EmNot ever missing that ^Gold Mona Lisa

^CWhat if we never got ^Dback on the plane As ^Bmsummer turned colder and then ^Emwarmer again ^AmLosing all track of the ^D7passing of years ^D7Till it ^Cno longer mattered how ^Dlong we'd been here

^GWhat if we ^G6went^G to I^G6taly^{G G}Maybe next ye^G6ar ^G just you and^G6 me ^G for the su^Cmme^C6r ^{C C}I still can't speak^C6 an^Cy I^Gtali^G6an ^G But ^Dwords are replaced under Siennese skies ^DBy nothing so much as a nod, and a sigh ^DAnd a ^Cwis^C6h ^{C C6} t^Co be always like this^G
