Intro:  D  G  A  G  A
D                        G                        F#m
If I would take a little time to write down a few lines
                    G           A       D
Every time that you cross this heart of mine
D                     G                                   F#m
And put them all in a book, how much time would that have took
                           G      A
The words and years have a way of slipping by
Bm      A  D    Bm              G            A
Oh no, too bad, there goes the chance that I had
Chorus:
             D          Bm      G           A
I could have written a play so sweet and so funny
        D         Bm        G           A
Given old Mr. Shakespeare a run for his money
Bm          A            G
Written the words to the prettiest tune
     D                       G          A
That would never leave a dry eye in the room
   Bm   G               A    Bm
My only excuse for not doing that
     G          D   A        Bm
Well I was too busy being in love,
     G          D   A         D         G  A  G  A
Yes, I was too busy being in love.
D                   G                      F#m
Brand new phrases appear every time you are near
                    G             A         D
All these words you inspire after all these years
                        G                            F#m
But I never reach for a pen, break the mood that I'm in
                      G         A
Before I knew it the words were gone again
Bm      A  D    Bm              G            A
Oh no, too bad, there goes the chance that I had
Chorus
G  A                 D          Bm          G           A
        I could have written a poem to make young lovers crazy
           D         Bm         G          A
Could have written a movie for Hepburn and Tracy
  Bm        A           G
A beautiful song and it starts with your name
D                  G            A
Written my way into fortune and fame
     Bm         G             A     Bm
But I have no regrets for not doing that
      G         D   A         Bm
Well I was too busy being in love,
    G           D  A         D    G  A  G  A  D
Yes I was too busy being in love.
