Intro: (D) (Em) (F#m) (G) (D/A) (A)

(D) If I had taken the (Em7) time
To write down a few (D/F#) lines
Everytime that you (G) crossed this (A) heart of (D) mine
I'd put them all in a (Em7) book
How much time would that have (D/F#) took
The words and years have a (G) way of (A) slipping (Bm7) by
Oh (Em7) no! (A) Too (D) bad, (Bm) there goes (Em) the (G) chance that I (A) had

  I could have (D) written a (Bm) play so (G) sweet and so (A) funny
  Given (D) old Mr. Shak(Bm)espere a (G) run for his (A) money
  (Bm) Written the (F#m7) words to the (G) prettiest tune
  That (D) would never leave a dry (G) eye in the (A) room
  My (Bm) only excu(G)se for not (A) doing en(Bm)ough
  (G) I was too (D) busy (A) being in (Bm) love
  Yes (G) I was too (D) busy (A) being in (D) love

(D) (Em) (F#m) (G) (D/A) (A)

Brand new phrases appear every time you are near
All this words you inspire after all these years
But I never reached for a pen
Break the mood that I'm in
Before I knew that the words were gone again
Oh no! Too bad, there goes the chance that I had

( Repeat Chorus )

(D) (A/C#) (Bm7) (A) (G6) (D/F#) (G) 

  I could have written the poem to make young lovers crazy
  I could have written the movie for Hepburn and Tracey
  Most beautiful song and it starts with your name
  Written my way into fortune and fame
  But I have no regrets for not doing enough
  I was too busy being in love
  Yes I was too busy being in love

(D) (Em) (F#m) (G) (D/A) (A)
