Could You

You could (Am)never bend your (E5)will.

You could (Am)never follow (E5)through.

You could (Am)never bite your (G)tongue,

though your (Am)tongue may (D5)split in two.

(E7)If you (Am)want to live your (E5)dreams,

these are (Am)things you have to (F#m7)do.

How (Am)could you change?

You can't!

(E)Not (Am)you.

(E5)Could you (Am)practice (E5)selfcontrol?

Could you (Am)possibly be (E5)shy?

Could you (Am)wear a corset (G)tight in the (Am)heat of (D5)mid July?

(E7)These are (Am)rules you must (E5)obey,

ev'ry (Am)one which you (F#m7)defy.

You'll (Am)never change.

You won't!

(E)That's (Am)you.

(E5)Could you (Am)why.

Yet (Dm7)somewhere (G7)deep within my (Em)heart,

I do (Am)believe (Bdim)you could (E7)captivate the (Am)world.

If (Dm7)you could (G7)change, there is so (Gm7)much you could (A7)achieve.

In (Bm7)time you could succeed and travel very far (E5)indeed.

(A)You could be beguiling.

Charming? Me?

Someone wellmannered, a model of grace.

Learn the art of (F#sus4)smiling.

That could be hard.

It (F#)isn't very hard for (Bm7)someone (E)full of (C#7)dreams like (F#m)you.

(D#m7)If you (Bm7)work, you'll find there's nothing you can't (A)do.

(A)So, (E7sus4)if I (E7)change, we'll (Em7)go to (E7)Paris?

(A)Change completely or (Amaj7)don't waste my (A)time.

(E7sus4)If I (E7)change, we'll (Em7)stop in (E7)Antwerp?

(A)Gracious living will (Amaj7)make you (A7)sublime.

(D)If I change, you'll (Dmaj7)take me to (Dm7)Zurich?

(Asus2)Ev'ry (A)city from (Asus2)Dublin to (F#7)Cannes.

(B5)Surely with your guidance, I could (E)learn to use (F#m)feminine (Gm)wiles with (E)élan.

(A)I could (Amaj7)be (A6)(A)beguiling.

Ah. Ah.

Ah, ah.

I could learn to charm a (Amaj7)donkey for a (Bm7)chance to see the (E)world.
