E6/B   F#/C#   B7/F#   E6/B 
E6/B   F#/C#   B7/F#   E6/B 
 
E6/B                           F#/C# 
 if only all our memories were one 
    B7/F#                        E6/B 
 we only had to blink and it was done 
E6/B                                   F#/C# 
 if all the world could see it with one eye 
    B7/F#                       E6/B 
 in perfect color to the perfect sky 
 
    B7/F#         A7/E            E6/B        
 if only we could turn ourselves around 
    B7/F#                  A7/E            E6/B    
 and all the things we're looking for were found 
    B7/F#        A7/E            E6/B  
 if only we grew wiser with each breath 
    B7/F#         A7/E             E6/B  
 if only we could dance our way to death 
 
E6/B                                F#/C# 
 if only all our dreams were coming true 
 B7/F#                                E6/B 
 maybe there'd be some time for me and you 
E6/B                               F#/C# 
 if only all the world could sing along 
 B7/F#                          E6/B 
 in perfect rhythm to the perfect song 
 
 
    B7/F#        A7/E            E6/B  
 if only all our hopes were to be here 
      B7/F#          A7/E                E6/B  
 we'd just close our eyes when we want to disappear 
    B7/F#        A7/E            E6/B  
 if only all the love we needed was gained 
    B7/F#         A7/E            E6/B  
 if only we could always stay the same 
    B7/F#         A7/E          E6/B  
 if only we could always stay the same 
 
      B7/F#               A7/E          E6/B  
 we'd close our doors and then we'd go to bed 
     B7/F#         A7/E       E6/B  
we'd never have to do it all again 
      B7/F#           A7/E          E6/B  
there wouldn't be one thing to fight about 
    B7/F#               A7/E          E6/B  
and time would turn our bodies inside out 
 B7/F#                  A7/E          E6/B  
and time would turn our bodies inside out
