Intro:
Dmaj7          Bm    G G/A
Dmaj7          Bm    G G/A

Ariel:
   D                       Gmaj7    G/A     D
If only you could know the things I long to say,
   D            Bm       F#m/A  G               Bm
if only I could tell you what I wish I could convey.
     G           D/F#       Em         A7   Cmaj7/D    D7
It's in my ev'ry glance, my heart's an open book,
      Gmaj7         D/F#         Em        G/A  A  G/A  G
you'd see it all at once if only you would look.

   D                          G              D
If only you could glimpse the feeling that I feel,
   D              D/F#            G          Bm
if only you would notice what I'm dying to reveal.
    G                D/F#       Em      A7   Cmaj7/D    D7
The dreams I can't declare, the needs I can't deny,
      Gmaj7           D/F#        Em  G/A   D     D/F#
you'd understand them all if only you would try.
G                  D/F#
All my secrets, you would learn them,
A/B B7     Em        G/A       D
    all my longings,   you'd return them;
Em   D/F#  G                F#m
then   the silence would be broken,
A/B B7    Em                 G/A A       Bm/A    A7
    not a word would need be spo-ken.
Prince Eric:
Bm                             Bm                        D/E E D/E E
What is it about her that's so wonderfully, impossibly familiar?
Bm                       Bm                            D/E E D/E E
Why do I feel dizzy in a way I've only felt but once before?
G                                 D/F#                  D/E  E D/E E
How come when she looks at me, it seems like time stops mo - ving.
G                               D/F#         C
Almost like the way it did that day upon the shore?
G/A F#m/A G/A A7   D
          But that voice!

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

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

Ariel:
  Bm              Bm/A    Gmaj7            Cmaj7/D  D7
I guess you never will, I guess it doesn't show,
    G          D/F#          Am   A7  Bm    Bm/A
but if I never find a way to tell you so.
G                D/F#          Em  Em7/A D
Oh, what I would give, if only you could know.

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

   E                   Amaj7    A/B     E
If only I knew how I'd make him see the light,
   E            C#m   G#m/B   A                  C#m
if only it were up to me this all would turn out right.
    Amaj7     E/G#       F#m               D/E   E7
And if I only could I'll tell you what I'd do:
    Amaj7          E/G#               F#m7   B7   C#m   G#m/B
I'd simply wave my claw and make your dreams come true.
    F#m7             E/G#             A A/B C#m       A    E/G#
And wouldn't that surprise you if you only  knew.

King Triton:
                               C#m                         E/F#     E/F#
How could she just suddenly completely disappear into thin water?
A                                    E/G#               D   Am/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/Bb           Gm
If only you'd come home...

Sebastian:
                Abmaj7
If only I could help...

Eric:
Ab/Bb   Bb7  Eb/Bb
Where's that voice?

Ariel:
                   Gm    Eb/G Abmaj7            Ab/Bb
If only there were time,    I know we'd kiss at last.

Eric:
Bb7  Eb
That voice!

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

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

Ariel:
                      Eb/G            Fm7             Eb
But time keeps racing forward and our moment's almost passed!

King Triton:
     Abmaj7      Eb/G
I'll try to understand...

Ariel:
   Fm            Eb/G
It has to happen now...

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

Sebastian:
                               Eb7
I'd give my life up to make it happen...

King Triton:
  Ab                  Eb/G             Fm7
I should have started listening to you long ago...

Eric:
                Bb7sus4              Cm
How I wish that girl could have been this one!

Ariel:
                                  Gm/Bb   Abmaj7
There's only one more day until I have to go!

Eric:
   Eb/G
If only...

Ariel, Sebastian & King Triton:
Fm7              Eb/G         Abmaj7 Bb7sus4 Ab/Bb
Oh, what I would give if only you    could   know...

Eric:
                Bb/Eb
And at the ball what will occur?
Ab                   Bb7sus4   Abmaj7/Bb Ab/Bb Eb
Maybe I'll find that voice but I'll      lose  her...

Ariel:
   Ab      Ab/Bb
If only...

Sebastian:
   Eb
If only...

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