[Verse]
      A           A/C#     D         A/C#
If I only had the words to tell you
       Bm7                       G7       E7
If you only had the time to understand
         A                A/C#        D         A/C#
Though I know it wouldn’t change your feelings
      Bm7               E7              A     C  E7
And I know you’ll carry on the best you can

[Verse]
     A            A/C#    D          A/C#
If I only had the urge to tell you
       Bm7                         G7     E7
If you only knew how hard it is to say
         A                 A/C#     D        A/C#    
When the simple lines have all been taken
        A/C#    Bm7              E7       A   G7
And the radio repeats them every day

[Verse]
     C              C/E     F           C/E
If I never find the song to sing you
       Dm7                          Bb7      G7
If you always find it hard to comprehend
         C                   C/E     F         C/E
Well you know there wouldn’t be much meaning
     Dm7               G7           C
If I had to sing those tired words again

[Bridge]

E7   E7/F#   E7     Am     
Life... goes on and on
      G     C       G       C      Cmaj7
And tonight... will soon be gone
          Fmaj7  Em7         
But if we try
          Dm7   Gsus4 G Gsus2 G
We can be sure

[Verse]
     C            C/E      F         C/E
If I only had the words to tell you
       Dm7                       Bb7         G7
If you only had the time to understand
      C               C/E     F          C/E
But I only have these arms to hold you
         Dm7              G7         C         F    G
And it’s all that you can ask of any man

[Coda]           
C   F         Bb   Dm       G      
Laa laa la la la   laa la la la

[Verse]
     C            C/E      F         C/E
If I only had the words to tell you
       Dm7                       Bb7         G7
If you only had the time to understand
         C               C/E     F               C/E
Oh but I only have these arms to hold you
         Dm7              G7         C        C7
And it’s all that you can ask of any man
