By: Doug Stone
Key of D
Intro: D G A G A
[D]If I would take a little [G]time to write down a few [F#m]lines
Every time that you [G]cross this h[A]eart of [D]mine
[D]And put them all in a [G]book, how much time would that have [F#m]took
The words and years have a [G]way of [A]slipping by
[Bm]Oh no, t[A]oo [D]bad, [Bm]there goes the c[G]hance that I [A]had
Chorus:
I could have [D]written a p[Bm]lay so s[G]weet and so [A]funny
Given ol[D]d Mr. Shak[Bm]espeare a [G]run for his [A]money
[Bm]Written the [A]words to the [G]prettiest tune
That [D]would never leave a dry [G]eye in the [A]room
My [Bm]only [G]excuse for not d[A]oing [Bm]that
Well [G]I was too b[D]usy [A]being in [Bm]love,
Yes, [G]I was too b[D]usy [A]being in l[D]ove.[G] [A] [G] [A]
[D]Brand new phrases ap[G]pear every time you are[F#m] near
All these words you [G]inspire after [A]all these [D]years
But I never reach for a [G]pen, break the mood that I'm [F#m]in
Before I knew it the w[G]ords were [A]gone again
[Bm]Oh no, t[A]oo [D]bad, [Bm]there goes the c[G]hance that I [A]had
Chorus
[G] [A] I could have [D]written a p[Bm]oem to make [G]young lovers[A] crazy
Could have [D]written a [Bm]movie for H[G]epburn and [A]Tracy
A [Bm]beautiful [A]song and it [G]starts with your name
[D]Written my way into[G] fortune and [A]fame
But I[Bm] have no re[G]grets for not [A]doing [Bm]that
Well I[G] was too b[D]usy [A]being in l[Bm]ove,
Yes [G]I was too bu[D]sy [A]being in l[D]ove.[G] [A] [G] [A] [D]
