A, B, C, D, E, F, G, 
   Cm      G         A7         D7    Gsus4  G Dm G 
I never learned to spell, at least not well 
G7           C          
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,  
  Cm      G         A7       G7    Gsus4  G Dm G 
I never learned to count a great amount 
Gm7                                        C7  F7M           
But my busy mind is burning to   use what learning  
      Em7 A7 D7                          G 
I?ve got,       I won?t waste any time,  
        G7                   Dm7    G7 
I?ll strike while the iron is hot 
             C                           G7      C 
If they asked me, I could write a book 
     G7         C           G7         C      C#dim  Dm7   G7 
About the way you walk and whisper and       look 
F  G7      C    Ab7  Dm7     G7       C     F#dim  G 
I could write a        preface       on how we        met 
C  F#dim   G       Eb7    Am7 D7    G  Dm7  G7 
So the       world would never      forget 
        C              G7      C 
And the simple secret of the plot 
    G7      C            G7     C     C#dim Dm7   G7 
Is just to tell them that I love you a          lot 
   F    G7      C    Ab7 Dm7 G7      Cm7   C7     F 
Then the world discovers         as my      book ends 
 Dm         C     G7  Dm7   G7      C 
How to make two lovers        of friends 
             C             G7      C 
If they asked me, I could write a book
