If I Could Be There

G                               C
You talk so tough, but you were naked inside
       G                        D    Dsus4  D
It was hard for you to hide anything
G                       C
You knew I came from so far away
  G                         D    Dsus4  D
I could never stay for very long


[Chorus]
                 G                          C
You wanted me to chase you, I knew there was a chance
                    G             C               Em
That any feeling we had, wouldn't rule our circumstance
                             Em
(If I could be there I would be there now)
                  C                   Am        D
Fight through the noisy crowd until I found you
Em                          Em
(If I could be there on the hot stone street)
         C                        Am       D
Where we used to meet, I would be laughing
G                   C                     Em                   Em D C
All of the children reach for your hands, I'd stand among them
   C       D                 G
If I could be there one more time


[Verse 2]
G                      C
It was a wavelength we held in tune
   G                 D         Dsus4  D
It ended to soon to really know
G                             C
The temperature tumbled, only birds knew in advance
    G                                  D          Dsus4  D
The seasons broke our trance and I was going home


[Chorus]
         G                    C
Now if I find you, it's in my sleep
           G                   C            Em
Never knew before now, that my life was incomplete
                             Em
(If I could be there I would be there now)
                  C                   Am         D
Fight through the noisy crowd until I found you
Em                          Em
(If I could be there on the hot stone street)
         C                        Am       D
Where we used to meet, I would be laughing
G                   C                     Em                   Em D C
All of the children reach for your hands, I'd stand among them
   C       D                 G
If I could be there one more time


[Bridge]
Dm                   Dm              C
Soon our escape, may be too late and you'll be gone
Dm                     Dm                   C
I can't believe you're just a memeory, going on and on
G               Em
Do you think of me?


[Chorus]
                             Em
(If I could be there I would be there now)
                  C                   Am                     D       Em
Fight through the noisy crowd until I found you, if I could be there now
                            Em
(If I could be there on the hot stone street)
         C                        Am                D        Em
Where we used to meet, I would be laughing, I could be there now
                              Em
(If I could be there I would be there now)
                  C                   Am                     D       Em
Fight through the noisy crowd until I found you, if I could be there now
                            Em
(If I could be there on the hot stone street)
         C                        Am                D        Em
Where we used to meet, I would be laughing, I could be there now
                             Em
(If I could be there I would be there now)
                  C                   Am                     D       Em
Fight through the noisy crowd until I found you, if I could be there now
                            Em
(If I could be there on the hot stone street)
         C                        Am                D        Em
Where we used to meet, I would be laughing, I could be there now
