[Chords] Gadd9#11 320223 Gadd#11 320023 [Intro] Asus2 / Asus2 / [Verse 1] Asus2 If I had met you on some journey Where would we be now Asus2 If we had met some eastbound train Through some black sleeping town A7sus Would you have worn your silken robes All made of royal blue? Gadd#11 G Gadd9#11 Would I have dressed in smoke and fire For you to see through? Ah Ah [Verse 2] Asus2 If we had met in a darkened room Where people do not stay Asus2 But shadows touch and pass right through And never see the day A7sus Would you have taken me upstairs And turned the lamplight low? Gadd#11 G Would I have shown my secret self Gadd9#11 Asus2 Dm6/F And disappeared like the snow? Ah Ah [Verse 3] Asus2 Oh I could have played your little girl Or I could’ve played your wife Asus2 I could have played your mistress Running danger down through you life A7sus A I could’ve played your lady fair A7sus A All dressed in lace like the foam from the sea Gadd#11 G I could’ve been your woman of the road As long as you did not come back home to me Ah Ah [Verse 4] Asus2 But as it is we live in the city And everything stays in place Asus2 Instead we meet on the open sidewalk And it’s well I know your face A7sus A We talk and talk we tell the truth A7sus There are no shadows here Gadd#11 G But when I look into your eyes Dm7 Gadd#11 I wonder what might have been here A7sus A Cause if I had met you on some journey A7sus A Gadd#11 Where would we be now?
