Em  G  D  C9 
 
            Em           G 
If I were you, & I wish that I were you 
D                        C9 
All the things I'd do  to make myself turn blue 
       Em                  G 
I suppose    I'd start by removing all my clothes 
D                   C9
Tie my pantyhose    around my neck 
 
 
             G          C9      D        G  C9 
I'll be that girl  and you would be right over 
D      G           C9      D      G      C9 
If I were a field  you would be in clover 
D      G           C9      D      G      C9 
If I were the sun  you would be in shadows 
    D     G         C9       D     Em 
And if I had a gun  there'd be no tomorrows 
 

                G 
If you will not have me as myself 
   D                        C9                             Em 
Perhaps as someone else   perhaps as you I'll be worth noticing 
               G 
Then even a eunuch won't resist 
    D                    C9 
The magic of a kiss from such as me 


             G         C9      D        G   C9 
I'll be that girl & you would be right over 
D      G           C9      D      G    C9 
If I were a field you would be in clover 
D      G           C9      D      G    C9 
If I were the sun you would be in shadow 
    D     G         C9       D     G 
And if I had a gun there'd be no tomorrow 
 
 
G            C9               D                   G 
It's time to kick off your shoes  learn how to choose sadness 
             C9                  D                       G   C9  G 
It's time to throw off those chains  addle our brains with madness 
               C9             D  
Cause we got plenty of time to grow old and die 
    C9                            D                                 Em 
But when at last your beauty's faded you'll be glad that I have waited for you 
 

G  D  C9 
 
              Em            G 
When you're done with being beautiful & young 
D                             C9 
When that course is run, then come to me 
 

             G          C9      D        G   C9 
I'll be that girl - and you would be right over 
D      G           C9      D      G    C9 
If I were a field, you would be in clover 
D      G           C9      D      G    C9 
If I were the sun, you would be in shadow 
    D     G         C9       D     G 
And if I had a gun, there'd be no tomorrow 
C9       D      G 
There'd be no tomorrow 
C9       D      G 
There'd be no tomorrow 
C9       D      G 
There'd be no tomorrow 
C9       D      G 
There'd be no tomorrow 
C9  D  G
