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?
