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!
