C                          Fm7
We've been friends  for a long long time
C                         Fm7
You tell me your secrets  and I'll tell you mine
Em
She's left you all alone
        Am
And you feel like no one cares
Dm
But I have  never failed you
Gsus4             G
I've always been there
                 C
You tell your   story
            Fm7
It sounds a bit like mine
         C
It's the same  old situation
    Fm7
It happens every time
Em                  Am
Can't we see it oh  maybe you and me
    Dm
Is what's meant to be
       Gsus4   G
Do we disagree
          F                  G            C
What if I told you what if I said that I love you
              F                   G
How would you feel what would you think
              Em  Am
What would we do
       F                   G     C           C/B        Am
Do we dare to  cross that line between your heart and mine
           Dm                      Gsus4                  G
Or would I lose a friend or find a love that would never end
           C    Fm
What if I said
C                    Fm7
She doesn't love you oh  it's' plain to see
C                               Fm7
I can read between the lines of what you're telling me
Em                            Am
He doesn't hold you the way a woman  should be held
    Dm                             Gsus4        G
How long can I go on keeping these feelings to myself
          F                  G            C
What if I told you what if I said that I love you
              F                   G
How would you feel what would you think
              Em  Am
What would we do
       F                   G     C           C/B        Am
Do we dare to  cross that line between your heart and mine
           Dm                      Gsus4                  G
Or would I lose a friend or find a love that would never end
           C
What if I said
   F                  G             C
Oh we've both had our share of lonliness
F                    G             C
So whose to say that we can't have a little happiness
         F             G
And if I found that in you
         C       C/B         Am
It would make my dreams come true
              Dm
Or would you walk away
            Gsus4    G
Hear what I have to say
          F                  G            C
What if I told you what if I said that I love you
              F                   G
How would you feel what would you think
              Em  Am
What would we do

SOLO

      F                  G       C         C/B       Am
Do we dare to cross that line between your heart and mine
Dm                    G
I've always wondered from the day we met
C                                Fm             C
What If I said  what if I said        what if I said
