David Gray - If 8 were 9

If skin should ^Ebtouch and words ^Dbevaporate Trouble ^Abclear out of sight with my ^Db6whole body listening My heart leans ^Ebout like these old ^Db/Friver tree^Dbs Closer to ^Abbe where you glide^Bbm, moving ^Dbunder me, glistening

If 8 were ^Ab9, I would ^Dbhold you Yeah, I would ^Abrock you I would ^Dbshelter you, darling If 8 were ^Ab9, I would ^Dblift you Lift you ^Abclear off the ground Through the ^Dbgates into morning

The time would ^Ebstretch Stretch out these ^Dbmagic hours Into ^Abdays, into years Tomorrow ^Dblost in the distance A voice speaks ^Ebout Says, "Hey man, ^Fm7let it go^Db" But when a ^Abheart has been tru^Bbm7e Well, it don't ^Dbmake any difference

If 8 were ^Ab9, I would ^Dbhold you Yeah, I would ^Abrock you I would ^Dbshelter you, darling If 8 were ^Ab9, I would ^Dblift you Lift you ^Abclear off the ground Through the ^Dbgates into morning If 8 were ^Ab9 ^Db/F If 8 were ^Ab/Eb9 ^Db If 8 were ^Ab9 ^Db/F If 8 were ^Ab/Eb9 Through the ^Dbgates into morning, yeah

Yeah,^AbM7/Eb through the ^DbM7gates into morning Ab
