If I [D#m]fell in love with you, would you [D]promise to be true.
And [C#]help me [A#m]understand, ’cause I’ve [D#m]been in love before.
And [D]found that love is more, than [Em]just holding [A]hands.


If I [D]give [Em]my [F#m]heart [Fm]to [Em]you.
I [A]must be sure.
From the [D]ve[Em]ry [F#m]start that [Em]you.
Would [A]love me more than [D]her. [Gm] [A]


If I [D]trust [Em]in [F#m]you, oh [Em]please.
Don’t [A]run and hide.
If I [D]love [Em]you [F#m]too, oh [Em]please.
Don’t [A]hurt my pride like.


[D]Her cause I couldn’t stand the [G]pain.
And [Gm]I would be sad if our new [D]love was in [A]vain.


So I [D]hope [Em]you’ll [F#m]see that [Em]I.
Would [A]love to love you.
[D]And [Em]that [F#m]she will [Em]cry.
When [A]she learns we are.


[D]Two cause I couldn’t stand the [G]pain.
And [Gm]I would be sad if our new [D]love was in [A]vain.


So I [D]hope [Em]you’ll [F#m]see that [Em]I.
Would [A]love to love you.
[D]And [D]that [F#m]she will [Em]cry.
When [A]she learns we are [D]two.


If I [Gm]fell in love with [D]you. [Gm] [D]
