[Intro]
D Em F#m G A
[Verse 1]
D Em 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 Em F#m
And put them all in a book, how much time would that have took
G A Bm
The words and years have a way of slipping by
Em A D Bm Em 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 F#m 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 enough
G D A Bm
Well I was too busy being in love,
G D A D Em - F#m - G - A
Yes, I was too busy being in love.
[Verse 2]
D Em F#m
Brand new phrases appear every time you are near
G A D
All these words you inspire after all these years
Em 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 Em - A D Bm Em 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 F#m 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 enough
G D A Bm
Well I was too busy being in love,
G D A D (bass line: D - C# - B - A - G - G - G - G - A )
Yes, I was too busy being in love.
[Outro]
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 F#m 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 enough
G D A Bm
Well I was too busy being in love,
G D A D Em - F#m - G - A - D
Yes I was too busy being in love.
