Key of C
[Verse 1]
C G7 C
If they asked me, I could write a book
G7 C G7
About the way you walk, and whisper and look
F G7 C G7 C G
I could write a preface on how we met
C G Am7 G
So the world would never forget
[Verse 2]
C G7 C
And the simple secret of the plot
G7 C G7
Is just to tell them that I love you, a lot
F G7 C G7 Cm7 C7 F
Then the world discovers, as my book ends
Dm C G7 C F C
How to make two lovers of friends.

And the simple secret of the plot

F G7 C G7 Cm7 C7 F
Then the world discovers, as my book ends
[Outro]
Dm C G7 C F C
How to make two lovers of friends.
