Asus2Asus2  Dm6/F FF G+G  Asus2Asus2  Dm6/F FF G+G

Verse 1:

     Asus2Asus2
If I had met you on some journey
Fmaj7Fmaj7
Where would we be now
  Asus2Asus2
If we had met some eastbound train
    Fmaj7Fmaj7
Through some black sleeping town
   A7sus
Would you have worn your silken robes
          A augmentedA
All made of royal blue?
   Gadd#11       G+G       Gadd9#11
Would I have dressed in smoke and fire
       G+G       Asus2Asus2   Dm6/F FF G+G
For you to see through? Ah      Ah

Verse 2:

  Asus2Asus2
If we had met in a darkened room
Fmaj7Fmaj7
Where people do not stay
  Asus2Asus2
But shadows touch and pass right through
  Fmaj7Fmaj7
And never see the day
   A7sus
Would you have taken me upstairs
             A augmentedA
And turned the lamplight low?
   Gadd#11     G+G
Would I have shown my secret self
Gadd9#11              Asus2Asus2   Dm6/F
And disappeared like the snow? Ah      Ah

Verse 3:

  Asus2Asus2
Oh, I could have played your little girl
  Fmaj7Fmaj7
Or I could've played your wife
Asus2Asus2
I could have played your mistress
    Fmaj7Fmaj7
Running danger down through you life
A7sus         A augmentedA
I could've played your lady fair
  A7sus          A augmentedA
All dressed in lace like the foam from the sea
Gadd#11        G+G
I could've been your woman of the road
  Gadd9#11           G+G       A minorAm     Dm6/F FF G+G
As long as you did not come back home to me Ah      Ah

Verse 4:

  Asus2Asus2
But as it is, we live in the city
Fmaj7Fmaj7
And everything stays in place
  Asus2Asus2
Instead we meet on the open sidewalk
     Fmaj7Fmaj7
And it's well I know your face
  A7sus       A augmentedA
We talk and talk, we tell the truth
   A7sus
There are no shadows here
  Gadd#11    G+G
But when I look into your eyes
 Dm7Dm7             Gadd#11
I wonder what might have been here
    A7sus       A augmentedA
Cause if I had met you on some journey
A7sus     A augmentedA Gadd#11
Where would we be now?
