Intro:
Dmaj7Dmaj7     B minorBm  G+G G/AG/A
Dmaj7Dmaj7     B minorBm  G+G G/AG/A

Ariel:
  D MajorD            Gmaj7Gmaj7  G/AG/A   D MajorD
If only you could know the things I long to say,
  D MajorD      B minorBm    F#m/A G+G        B minorBm
if only I could tell you what I wish I could convey.
   G+G      D/F#D/F#    E minorEm     A7A7  Cmaj7/D  D7D7
It's in my ev'ry glance, my heart's an open book,
   Gmaj7Gmaj7     D/F#D/F#     E minorEm    G/AG/A A augmentedA G/AG/A G+G
you'd see it all at once if only you would look.

  D MajorD             G+G       D MajorD
If only you could glimpse the feeling that I feel,
  D MajorD       D/F#D/F#      G+G     B minorBm
if only you would notice what I'm dying to reveal.
  G+G        D/F#D/F#    E minorEm   A7A7  Cmaj7/D  D7D7
The dreams I can't declare, the needs I can't deny,
   Gmaj7Gmaj7      D/F#D/F#    E minorEm G/AG/A  D MajorD   D/F#D/F#
you'd understand them all if only you would try.

    G+G         D/F#D/F#
All my secrets, you would learn them,
A/BA/B B7B7   E minorEm    G/AG/A    D MajorD
  all my longings,  you'd return them;
E minorEm  D/F#D/F# G+G        F# minorF#m
then  the silence would be broken,
A/BA/B B7B7  E minorEm         G/AG/A A augmentedA    Bm/ABm/A  A7A7
  not a word would need be spo-ken.
Prince Eric:
B minorBm               B minorBm            D/ED/E E MajorE D/ED/E E MajorE
What is it about her that's so wonderfully, impossibly familiar?
B minorBm            B minorBm              D/ED/E E MajorE D/ED/E E MajorE
Why do I feel dizzy in a way I've only felt but once before?
G+G                 D/F#D/F#         D/ED/E E MajorE D/ED/E E MajorE
How come when she looks at me, it seems like time stops mo - ving.
G+G                D/F#D/F#     C majorC
Almost like the way it did that day upon the shore?
G/AG/A F#m/A G/AG/A A7A7  D MajorD
     But that voice!

Ariel:
        D/F#D/F#   G+G     G/AG/A   A augmentedA
If only it were true. If only for a while.
Eric:
Ah, that voice!

Ariel:
  D MajorD       D/F#D/F#     G+G       G/AG/A   A augmentedA
If only you would notice how I ache behind my smile.
Eric:
Where's that voice?

Ariel:
 B minorBm       Bm/ABm/A  Gmaj7Gmaj7      Cmaj7/D D7D7
I guess you never will, I guess it doesn't show,
  G+G     D/F#D/F#     A minorAm  A7A7 B minorBm  Bm/ABm/A
but if I never find a way to tell you so.
G+G        D/F#D/F#     E minorEm Em7/A D MajorD
Oh, what I would give, if only you could know.

Sebastian, spoken:
E/D       C majorC                    D/C
Bless ya, child. Tomorrow, the Prince will have his pick of any princess
               E MajorE             A augmentedA
in the land! How can a little mermaid compete with that?
F#m/B  A/BA/B

  E MajorE          Amaj7Amaj7  A/BA/B   E MajorE
If only I knew how I'd make him see the light,
  E MajorE      C# minorC#m  G#m/B  A augmentedA         C# minorC#m
if only it were up to me this all would turn out right.
  Amaj7Amaj7   E/G#    F# minorF#m        D/ED/E  E7E7
And if I only could I'll tell you what I'd do:
  Amaj7Amaj7     E/G#        F#m7F#m7  B7B7  C# minorC#m  G#m/B
I'd simply wave my claw and make your dreams come true.
  F#m7F#m7       E/G#       A augmentedA A/BA/B C# minorC#m    A augmentedA  E/G#
And wouldn't that surprise you if you only knew.

King Triton:
                C# minorC#m             E/F#E/F#   E/F#E/F#
How could she just suddenly completely disappear into thin water?
A augmentedA                  E/G#        D MajorD  Am/GAm/G F#m7-5/C
It's been two whole days and I don't know where she has gone!
Eric:
Ah, that voice!

King Triton:
  Eb/BbEb/Bb      G minorGm
If only you'd come home...

Sebastian:
        Abmaj7Abmaj7
If only I could help...

Eric:
Ab/Bb  Bb7Bb7 Eb/BbEb/Bb
Where's that voice?

Ariel:
          G minorGm  Eb/GEb/G Abmaj7Abmaj7      Ab/Bb
If only there were time,  I know we'd kiss at last.

Eric:
Bb7Bb7 Eb MajorEb
That voice!

King Triton:
          Bb/DBb/D         Ab/C
If only you'd come back, I'll change my ways!

Sebastian:
       Eb/GEb/G     AbAb
Just one more day for that kiss to come...

Ariel:
           Eb/GEb/G      Fm7Fm7       Eb MajorEb
But time keeps racing forward and our moment's almost passed!

King Triton:
   Abmaj7Abmaj7   Eb/GEb/G
I'll try to understand...

Ariel:
  F minorFm      Eb/GEb/G
It has to happen now...

King Triton:
   AbAb   Eb/GEb/G  Db/Eb
I'll keep my temper low...

Sebastian:
                Eb7Eb7
I'd give my life up to make it happen...

King Triton:
 AbAb         Eb/GEb/G       Fm7Fm7
I should have started listening to you long ago...

Eric:
        Bb7sus4Bb7sus4       C minorCm
How I wish that girl could have been this one!

Ariel:
                 Gm/Bb  Abmaj7Abmaj7
There's only one more day until I have to go!

Eric:
  Eb/GEb/G
If only...

Ariel, Sebastian & King Triton:
Fm7Fm7       Eb/GEb/G     Abmaj7Abmaj7 Bb7sus4Bb7sus4 Ab/Bb
Oh, what I would give if only you  could  know...

Eric:
        Bb/Eb
And at the ball what will occur?
AbAb          Bb7sus4Bb7sus4  Abmaj7/Bb Ab/Bb Eb MajorEb
Maybe I'll find that voice but I'll   lose her...

Ariel:
  AbAb   Ab/Bb
If only...

Sebastian:
  Eb MajorEb
If only...

King Triton:
  AbAb    Ab/Bb    Eb MajorEb
If only...
Eb MajorEb
