[Intro] Abmaj7/C Bb Abmaj7/C Bb C x4 [Verse 1]
C                       F      Em     Dm
 If I had the world to give

                G7                 C
I'd give it to you - long as you live

 Em               Am
Would you let it fall

          G       F            C       
or       hold it all in your arms?
[Verse 2]
 C                     F     Em     Dm
  If I had a song to sing

               G7                    C
I'd sing it to you - as long as you live

Em     Am                  G         F   
  Lullaby  - or maybe a plain serenade

              G                 F
wouldn't you laugh, dance, and cry

         C                     C7
or be afraid at the trade you made?
[Chorus]
Fmaj7                         Bbmaj9   
  I may not have the world to give to you

Fmaj7                Bbmaj9   
 but maybe I have a tune or two

Fmaj7                 Bbmaj9    
 Only if you let me be your world

             Abmaj7/C   Bb   Abmaj7/C   Bb   C
could I ever give this world to you,

             Abmaj7/C   Bb   Abmaj7/C   Bb   C
could I ever give this world to you
[Bridge]
G                            Bb        F
 But I will give what love I have to give

G                        Bb         F
 I will give what love I have to give

G                        Bb        F
 I will give what love I have to give

           C
long as I live
[Solo] [Verse 3]
C                    F      Em     Dm
 If I had a star to give

                  G7               C
 I'd give it to you - long as you live

Em                  Am
 Would you have the time

             G                 F
to watch it shine - watch it shine

   G            F                C
or ask for the moon and heaven too?

                C
I'd give it to you.
[Outro]
Fmaj7                 Bbmaj9   
  But just now I've no star to spare

Fmaj7                 Bbmaj9  
 or anything fine or even rare

Fmaj7                 Bbmaj9  
 Only if you let me be your world

              Abmaj7/C   Bb   Abmaj7/C   Bb   C
could I ever give this world to you

              Abmaj7/C   Bb   Abmaj7/C   Bb   C
could I ever give this world to you
