If Only I Was A Poet

| G          | G          | D          | D          |
| G          | G          | D          | D          |

[Verse 1]
G                                    G
Oh, yes, I remember your black dress   and how you turned my mind
                D              D
completely into such a mess so easily.
G                                    G
  And it really came as no surprise,   you looked beyond compare
                    D                      D
and every time that I came close to make a move I froze.
Em         F#m           Em      A
  I always do that and I know it.

[Chorus]
   D                                 D
If I could only be some kind of poet,
           G                          G
if I could have my way with words, if only for a day,
D                                     D
I would tell you what I feel so you'd   know it,
                G                        G
because I would know just what to say if only I was
             D            D
some kind of poet.

[Verse 1]
G
  And the next time you walk through that door
G
  I really need to try to talk to you
          D                    D
but every   time I do I end up like a fool.
G                                         G
  Yeah, when I try to tell you how I feel   strange things happen to me
      D                         D
and I lose my way, I don't know what to say.
Em            F#m             Em      A
  It's always like this and I know it.

[End-Chorus]
     D                               D
If I could only be some kind of poet,
           G                          G
if I could have my way with words, if only for a day,
D                                     D
I would tell you what I feel so you'd   know it,
                G                        G
because I would know just what to say if only I was
             D            D
some kind of poet.
                G     G                       D        D
If only I was a poet,   if I was some kind of poet,
                G     G                   D        D        D
if only I was a poet,   just some kind of poet.
