Blue Merle – If I Could

Verse:  Gsus4, G, Bb, F  (repeat)

If I were you I'd turn this thing around
Before it runs aground 
But I know you and there's nothing 
That could ever slow you down
I closed me eyes hoping 
It would all work out in time
But here we are
And there's nothing I can do
To change your mind

Chorus:  Ebmaj7, Bbmaj7, C#maj7, Ab, Bb

Cause if I could you know I would
If I could you know I would
If I could you know I would

Verse: same verse chords

I circled once then twice
Before I finally found the words
The sweetest sound but nothing 
That you ain't already heard
I knew the day would come 
Your ship would run aground
But I know you and
There's nothing you would do
To slow it down I wish I could slow you down

Chords:  same chorus chords

Cause if I could you know I would
If I could you know I would
If I could you know I would

Bridge: Gm, Cm7, C#, Ab (x2)

I should've known
My chance was gone
The way you laughed
When first we kissed
Another round and I'd have won
But as it was it never came
Your body spoke a thousand truths
Another shade into my soul
I'm on my knees and begging now
What would it take?

Solo:  Bbmaj7, Gm7, Cm7, Gm7, C#maj7, Ab, Bb

I'm down on my knees

Final Chorus:  Bbmaj7, Gm7, Cm7, Gm7, C#maj7, Ab, Bb

Cause if I could you know I would
If I could you know I would
If I could you know I would
Cause if I could you know I would
If I could you know I would
If I could you know I would
If I were you I'd turn this thing around before it runs aground
