Introduction:
D
"So we meet again!" and I offer my hand
G A
All dry and English slow.
D
And you look at me, and I understand,
G A
Yeah, it's a look I used to know.
D
"Three long years... and your favourite man...
G A
Is that any way to say hello?",
D G A D G A
And you hold me... like you'll never let me go.
D
"Oh c'mon and have a drink with me,
G A
Sit down and talk a while..."
D
"Oh I wish I could... and I will!
G A
But now I just don't have the time..."
D
And over my shoulder as I walk away,
G A D
I see you give that look goodbye...
G A
I still see that look in your eye...
Em A
So dizzy Mr. Busy - Too much rush to talk to Billy,
Em A
All the silly frilly things have to first get done.
Em A
In a minute - sometime soon - maybe next time - make it June,
Em A D G A
Until later... doesn't always come.
D G A D G A
Until later... doesn't always come.
D
It's so hard to think "It ends sometime,
G A
And this could be the last".
D
I should really hear you sing again,
G A
And I should really watch you dance,
D
Because it's hard to think
G A
"I'll never get another chance
D G A
To hold you... to hold you... "
Em A
But chilly Mr. Dilly - Too much rush to talk to Billy,
Em A
All the tizzy fizzy idiot things must get done.
Em A
In a second - just hang on - all in good time - won't be long,
Em A
Until later...
G A G A
I should've stopped to think - I should've made the time.
G A G A
I could've had that drink - I could've talked a while.
G A G A
I would've done it right - I would've moved us on,
G A G
But I didn't - now it's all too late,
A D G A
It's over... And you're gone...
D
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you,
G A D G A
I miss you, I miss you so much...
D
But how many times can I walk away
G A
And wish "If only..."
D
How many times can I talk this way
G A
And wish "If only..."
D
Keep on making the same mistake,
G A
Keep on aching the same heartbreak,
D
And I wish "If only..."
G A
But "If only...."
