D                G                               C     D
You're walkin' a-long the street, or you're at a party,
                 C                          G
Or else you're a-lone and then you suddenly dig;
                  Em        Am
You're lookin' in someone's eyes,
             Bm   D
You suddenly re-a-lize
     C                          D         G
That this could be the start of something big!


[Verse 2]
D                  G                             C    D
You're lunchin' at Twen-ty One and watching your diet,
            C                            G
Declining a Charlotte Russe, accepting a fig,
              Em         Am
When out of a clear blue sky
              Bm      D
It's suddenly gal and guy,
    C                          D         G
And this could be the start of something big!


[Chorus 1]
           Ab                  Cm
There's no controlling, the un-rolling
        Ab               Cm
Of your fate, my friend,
                                Bb    Cm
Who knows what's written in the magic book?
           Ab             Cm
But when a lover, you dis-cover
       Ab              Cm
At the gate, my friend,
                        Am Bbm  C7
Invite her in without a se-cond look!


[Verse 3]
D               G                        C       D
You're up in an aer-o-plane or dining at Sardi's,
            C                    G
Or lying at Malibu, alone in the sand;
             Em     Am
You suddenly hear a bell,
               Bm      D
And right away you can tell
     C                          D         G
That this could be the start of something grand!


[Verse 4]
D                 G                       C    D
You're doin' your in-come tax or buyin' a toothbrush,
            C                        G
Or hurryin' home because the hour is late,
              Em        Am
Then suddenly there you go;
              Bm        D
The very next thing you know
   C                          D         G
Is this could be the start of something great!


[Verse 5]
D               G                             C   D
You're havin' a snow-ball fight or pickin' up daisies,
                 C                         G
You're singin' a happy tune or knockin' on wood,
              Em      Am
When all of a sud-den you
                    Bm      D
Look up and there's someone new;
    C                          D         G
Oh, this could be the start of something good!


[Chorus 2]
              Ab            Cm
Your destined lover, you discover
     Ab                 Cm
In a frightening flash,
                               Bb        Cm
So keep your heart awake, both night and day!
            Ab              Cm
Because the meeting, may be fleeting
     Ab              Cm
As a lightning flash,
                           Am   Bbm C7
And you don't wanna let it slip a - way!


[Verse 6]
D                   G                             C  D
You're watchin' the sun come up, or countin' your money,
             C                        G
Or else in a dim cafe you're ordering wine,
              Em        Am
Then suddenly there she is,
             Bm        D
You wanna be where she is,
    C                         D
And this must be the start of somethin',


[Outro]
                           Em
This could be the heart of somethin',
                  C        D         G
This could be the start of somethin' grand!
