IF
David Gates (Bread)

Intro:
A E7 Em7 D9 Bb7+ A Dm6 E7

A E7 Em7 D9
If a picture paints a thousand words, then why can't I paint you?

Bb7+ A Dm6 E7
The words will never show the you I've come to know.

A E7 Em7 D9
If a face could launch a thousand ships, then where am I to go?

Bb7+ A Dm6 E7
There's no one home but you -- you're all that's left me to.


Bridge:

F#m Fdim F#m D6
And when my love for life is running dry,

C#m7/5- F#7 Bm7/5- E7
You'll come and pour your-self on me.


A E7 Em7 D9
If a man could be two places at one time, I'd be with you;

Bb7+ A Dm6 E7
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way.

A E7 Em7 D9
If the world should stop revolving, spinning slowly down to die,

Bb7+ A Dm6 E7
I'd spend the end with you, and when the world was through,

F#m Fdim F#m D6
Then one by one, the stars would all go out,

C#m7/5- F#7 Bm Bm7 Bm7/5-
Then you and I would sim - ply fly

E7 A D9 Bb7+ A
A - way.
