Key of D MajorD
Intro: D MajorD G+G A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA

D MajorD            G+G            F# minorF#m
If I would take a little time to write down a few lines
          G+G      A augmentedA    D MajorD
Every time that you cross this heart of mine
D MajorD           G+G                  F# minorF#m
And put them all in a book, how much time would that have took
              G+G   A augmentedA
The words and years have a way of slipping by
B minorBm   A augmentedA D MajorD  B minorBm       G+G      A augmentedA
Oh no, too bad, there goes the chance that I had

Chorus:
       D MajorD     B minorBm   G+G      A augmentedA
I could have written a play so sweet and so funny
    D MajorD     B minorBm    G+G      A augmentedA
Given old Mr. Shakespeare a run for his money
B minorBm     A augmentedA      G+G
Written the words to the prettiest tune
   D MajorD            G+G     A augmentedA
That would never leave a dry eye in the room
  B minorBm  G+G        A augmentedA  B minorBm
My only excuse for not doing that
   G+G     D MajorD  A augmentedA    B minorBm
Well I was too busy being in love,
   G+G     D MajorD  A augmentedA     D MajorD     G+G A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA
Yes, I was too busy being in love.

D MajorD          G+G           F# minorF#m
Brand new phrases appear every time you are near
          G+G       A augmentedA     D MajorD
All these words you inspire after all these years
            G+G              F# minorF#m
But I never reach for a pen, break the mood that I'm in
           G+G     A augmentedA
Before I knew it the words were gone again
B minorBm   A augmentedA D MajorD  B minorBm       G+G      A augmentedA
Oh no, too bad, there goes the chance that I had

Chorus

G+G A augmentedA         D MajorD     B minorBm     G+G      A augmentedA
    I could have written a poem to make young lovers crazy
      D MajorD     B minorBm     G+G     A augmentedA
Could have written a movie for Hepburn and Tracy
 B minorBm    A augmentedA      G+G
A augmentedA beautiful song and it starts with your name
D MajorD         G+G      A augmentedA
Written my way into fortune and fame
   B minorBm     G+G       A augmentedA   B minorBm
But I have no regrets for not doing that
   G+G     D MajorD  A augmentedA     B minorBm
Well I was too busy being in love,
  G+G      D MajorD A augmentedA     D MajorD  G+G A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
