We Could Be Together

Eb           Bb
If I were an only child
Ab           Eb
I would be a lonely child
Eb                 Bb
But baby we've got nothing to lose
Ab                   Bb
I'm standing tall in my own shoes
Eb
I'll take this chance
Cm
I'll make this choice
Gm
I'll right this wrong
Cm
I'll raise my voice
        Eb             Bb           Ab    Eb
If it means we'll be together for a while

[VERSE 2]
Eb           Bb
I have never had a doubt
Ab               Eb
But for you I'll take time out
Eb                      Bb
I'll push his love far away from me
Ab                  Bb
And then I'll be completely free
     Eb           Cm
I'll give up my security
    Gm            Cm
For just the possibility
     Eb            Bb           Ab    Eb
That we could be together for a while

[CHORUS]
Eb                      Bb
If you said "jump!" I'd say "how high?"
Ab
If you said "run!" I'd run and fly
Eb                   Bb
Just for the chance, just for the moment
           Ab               Bb
Should the moment pass us by
Eb                        Bb
And if you ask once, I'll tell you twice
Ab
I'll ignore the world's advice
   Eb            Bb           Ab   Eb
If we could be together for a while

[VERSE 3]
Eb         Bb
I am taken by your strength
Ab                    Eb
I've thought about it at great length
Eb                   Bb
I thought that I was happy now
Ab                        Bb
But there are things that I found out
Eb              Cm
Happiness means greater things
     Gm                 Cm
I'll sit here till that telephone rings
     Eb            Bb           Ab    Eb
Then we could be together for a while

[CHORUS]
Eb                      Bb
If you said "jump!" I'd say "how high?"
Ab
If you said "run!" I'd run and fly
Eb                   Bb
Just for the chance, just for the moment
           Ab               Bb
Should the moment pass us by
Eb                        Bb
And if you ask once, I'll tell you twice
Ab
I'll ignore the world's advice
   Eb            Bb           Ab   Eb
If we could be together for a while

[BRIDGE 1]
Ab                Bb
Wait'll I tell my guy (wait'll I tell)
Ab                Bb
Wait'll I tell my other friends
Ab                    Bb
They'll all think I'm crazy—

And ya know what?
Ab     Bb
That depends...
                    Eb
'cause I'm crazy in love
     Bb
With you
    Ab                    Bb
And everyone's best won't do
               Eb
They'll say my hopes
              Cm
Will not come true
                   Ab
But I'm taking the chance

Because you only live once
                               Bb
(Only live once, only live once)

Bb
And...

                   Ab
There are no guarantees
          Bb
But if it means
               Eb   Bb  Ab
There's even a possibility
     Eb               Bb      Ab
Then I'll give up whatever it takes
  Eb                Bb
I know I've made mistakes before
   Ab
It may be just another closed door
    Eb            Bb
But we could be together
      Ab   Eb
For a while

For a while.
