   C                                          Fm

1.    We've been friends for a long, long time,

      C                                         Fm

    you tell me your secrets and I'll tell you mine.

Em                                                  Am

    She's left you all alone and you feel like no one cares,

        Dm                                          G

    but I have never failed you, I've always been there.

 

                            C                       Fm

2. You tell your story, it sounds a bit like mine,

                  C                              Fm

    It's the same old situation, it happens every time.

Em                                Am

    Can't we see it, oh, maybe you and me

                      Dm                          G

    is what's meant to be? Do we disagree ?

 

                F                          G             C

What if I told you, what if I said that I love you ?

                            F                                  G                                Em  - Am

How would you feel ? What would you think ? What would we do ?

              F                        G            C              G            Am

Do we dare to cross that line between your heart and mine ?

                 Dm                                G

Or would I lose a friend,  or find a love that would never end ?

               C        - Fm

What if I said ?

 

   C                                      Fm

3.     She doesn't love you, oh, it's' plain to see,

    C                                                   Fm

    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                                              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                                Em  - Am

How would you feel ? What would you think ? What would we do ?

              F                        G            C              G            Am

Do we dare to cross that line between your heart and mine ?

                 Dm                                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 loneliness.

               F                     G                      C

    So who’s to say that we can't have a little happiness ?

                   F                  G                    C             G                 Am

    And if I found that in you, it would make my dreams come true.

                            Dm                                   G

    Or would you walk away ? 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 ?

 

+  F - G - C - Em - Am   - F - G

 

                        F                         G           C               Em         Am

+  Oh, 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                  Fm     - C

    What if I said ?  What if I said ?                What if I said ?
