If I Could Be There

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



[Chorus]
                 G                 
You wanted me to chase you, I knew 
         C
there was a chance
                    G             
That any feeling we had, wouldn't 
C               Em
rule our circumstance
                             Em
(If I could be there I would be 
there now)
                  C                
Fight through the noisy crowd until
   Am        D
 I found you
Em                          Em
(If I could be there on the hot 
stone street)
         C                        
Where we used to meet, I would be 
Am       D
laughing
G                   C            
All of the children reach for 
         Em                   Em D C
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
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
   G                 D         
It ended to soon to really know
Dsus4  D

G                             C
The temperature tumbled, only birds 
knew in advance
    G                              
The seasons broke our trance and I 
    D          Dsus4  D
was going home


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


[Bridge]
Dm                   Dm          
Soon our escape, may be too late 
    C
and you'll be gone
Dm                     Dm  
I can't believe you're just a 
                 C
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                
Fight through the noisy crowd until
   Am                     D       
 I found you, if I could be there 
Em
now
                            Em
(If I could be there on the hot 
stone street)
         C                        
Where we used to meet, I would be 
Am                D        Em
laughing, I could be there now
                              Em
(If I could be there I would be 
there now)
                  C                
Fight through the noisy crowd until
   Am                     D       
 I found you, if I could be there 
Em
now
                            Em
(If I could be there on the hot 
stone street)
         C                        
Where we used to meet, I would be 
Am                D        Em
laughing, I could be there now
                             Em
(If I could be there I would be 
there now)
                  C                
Fight through the noisy crowd until
   Am                     D       
 I found you, if I could be there 
Em
now
                            Em
(If I could be there on the hot 
stone street)
         C                        
Where we used to meet, I would be 
Am                D        Em
laughing, I could be there now
