VERSE 1:
[Eb]If I were an [Bb]only child
[Ab]I would be a [Eb]lonely child
[Eb]But baby we've got [Bb]nothing to lose
[Ab]I'm standing tall in [Bb]my own shoes
[Eb]I'll take this chance
[Cm]I'll make this choice
[Gm]I'll right this wrong
[Cm]I'll raise my voice
If it me[Eb]ans we'll be to[Bb]gether for a [Ab]while[Eb]
VERSE 2:
[Eb]I have never [Bb]had a doubt
[Ab]But for you I'll [Eb]take time out
[Eb]I'll push his love far a[Bb]way from me
[Ab]And then I'll be com[Bb]pletely free
I'll [Eb]give up my se[Cm]curity
For [Gm]just the possi[Cm]bility
That [Eb]we could be to[Bb]gether for a [Ab]while[Eb]
CHORUS:
[Eb]If you said "jump!" I'd [Bb]say "how high?"
[Ab]If you said "run!" I'd run and fly
[Eb]Just for the chance, [Bb]just for the moment
Should the [Ab]moment pass us by[Bb]
[Eb]And if you ask once, I'll [Bb]tell you twice
[Ab]I'll ignore the world's advice
If [Eb]we could be to[Bb]gether for a [Ab]while[Eb]
VERSE 3:
[Eb]I am taken [Bb]by your strength
[Ab]I've thought about it [Eb]at great length
[Eb]I thought that I was [Bb]happy now
[Ab]But there are things that [Bb]I found out
[Eb]Happiness means [Cm]greater things
I'll [Gm]sit here till that [Cm]telephone rings
Then [Eb]we could be to[Bb]gether for a [Ab]while[Eb]
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE 1:
[Ab]Wait'll I tell my [Bb]guy (wait'll I tell)
[Ab]Wait'll I tell my [Bb]other friends
[Ab]They'll all think I'm [Bb]crazy'
And ya know what?
[Ab]That de[Bb]pends...
'cause I'm crazy in [Eb]love
With [Bb]you
And [Ab]everyone's best won't [Bb]do
They'll say my [Eb]hopes
Will not come [Cm]true
But I'm taking the [Ab]chance
Because you only live once
(Only live once, only live once[Bb])
[Bb]And...
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE 2:
There are no guaran[Ab]tees
But if it [Bb]means
There's even a [Eb]possi[Bb]bili[Ab]ty
Then [Eb]I'll give up what[Bb]ever it [Ab]takes
I [Eb]know I've made mis[Bb]takes before
It [Ab]may be just another closed door
But [Eb]we could be to[Bb]gether
For a [Ab]while[Eb]
(CHORUS)
OUTRO:
Don't you know that [Eb]we could be to[Bb]gether
