lyrics + chords
---------------
   Asus2		 
If I had met you on some journey
Aadd5#
Where would we be now?
   Asus2
If we had met on some east bound train
	Aadd5#
Through some black sleeping town

	Asus4	 A
Would you have worn your silken robes
     Asus4	  A
All made of royal blue?
      Cadd2		G	Gsus2
Would I have dressed in smoke and fire
		G	
For you to see through? Ah...

   Asus2
If we had met in a darkened room
      Aadd5#
Where people do not stay
     Asus2
But shadows touch and pass right through
    Aadd5#
And never see the day

       Asus4     A
Would you have taken me upstairs
     Asus4		  A
And turned the lamplight low?
      Cadd2	      G
Would I have shown my secret self
Gsus2			G	
And disappeared like the snow? Ah...

    Asus2
Oh, I could have played your little girl
  Aadd5#
Or I could have played your wife
Asus2
I could have played your mistress
	Aadd5#
Running danger down through your life

Asus4			  A
I could have played your lady fair
     Asus4		      A
All dressed in lace like the foam from the sea
Cadd2			G
I could have been your woman of the road
    Gsus2	     G		    
As long as you did not come back home to me. Ah...

    Asus2
But as it is, we live in the city
Aadd5#
And everything stays in place
   Asus2
Instead we meet on the open sidewalk
	 Aadd5#
And it's well I know your face

    Asus4	      A
We talk and talk, we tell the truth
      Asus4	      A
There are no shadows here
      Cadd2   	      G
But when I look into your eyes
   Gsus2		   G
I wonder what might have been here

 	   Asus4	 A
Becuase if I had met you on some journey
  Asus4		  A
Where would we be now?
