Verse 1:

D                Dmaj7
 Will I ever be Olympia?
Fmaj7             Cmaj7
 Will I ever be a girl like her?
D                    Dmaj7
 Will I ever have to say the word
Fmaj7                   Cmaj7
 And instantly I'll be adored?
D                      Dmaj7
 Could I ever deign to have the look
Fmaj7               Cmaj7
 Instead of have to read a book?
D                 Dmaj7
 Could I ever be Olympia?
Fmaj7              Cmaj7           N.C.
 Could I ever be a girl like her?

Chorus:

D                         Dmaj7
    And if ever there's a will
                           Fmaj7
There's a place in Notting Hill
                     Cmaj7
You can go and visit still
D                         Dmaj7
    And if ever there's a way
                  Fmaj7
To find a hopeful ray
                     Cmaj7    N.C.
Will I find it out today?

Verse 2:

D                Dmaj7
 Will I ever be Olympia?
Fmaj7                Cmaj7
 Could I ever have a cat like her?
D                  Dmaj7
 Could I ever lie around all day
Fmaj7                 Cmaj7
 Eating chocolate and marmalade?
D                          Dmaj7
 Now it's time to find the perfect world
Fmaj7                     Cmaj7
 Dress myself up like the perfect girl
D                 Dmaj7
 Could I ever be Olympia?
Fmaj7               Cmaj7
 Could I ever be in love like her?

Chorus:

D                       Dmaj7
    In the chaos of our lives
                     Fmaj7
Can we ever find the time
                   Cmaj7
To cherish feeling fine
D                           Dmaj7
    And in the aftermath of pain
                     Fmaj7
Can the balance be regained?
                   Cmaj7
Can we ever be the same?

Bridge:

Amaj7      Dmaj7
  And now, time to switch off
Amaj7       Dmaj7
  Sit down, turn the lights off
Amaj7             Dmaj7     Gmaj7       E
  Lie back, treat this sofa like - your own
Amaj7       Dmaj7
  Look out, here comes trouble
Amaj7       Dmaj7
  Look out, we're in a muddle
Amaj7           Dmaj7               Gmaj7        E     N.C.
  Keep running 'til you find you've reached your home

Can we ever be the same?
