If You Could See Me Now

If You Could See Me Now
Written by Reg Dwight (1967)

G	       C
People passing by
D		  G
They don't mean a thing
		C
It's just your face
D	        G
I'm looking for

	       C
Never see your hair
D		    G
Blowing through the crowd
		C
It's been like this
	  D		      G
Since you walked out the door

	     C
Everywhere I search
	D		 G
There's nothing there to see
	       C
Nothing but an empty space
      D		       G
Which throws itself at me

		  C
But still I never cease
   D		    G
To try and find you girl
		   C
'Cause my heart is broken now
    D		     G
And you have got the key

		A7      C
If you could see me now
D		   G       D
You'd come running back to me
G		  A7		C
I'm just a little shell of the man
D	    G	     D
Of the man I used to be

G	       C
Now and then I wonder why
D		G
I try and bring you back home
	       C
But though you went away
    D		          G
I'd be a fool to spend my life alone

		C
So I'm begging girl
D			G
Put past things in the past
	   C
That's all over now
     D			G
We'll build a love to last

A		  D
If you don't come back
E	         A
I don't know what I'll do
		D
And if you come back to me
       E		 A
There's nothing I won't do for you

     E	        A
I'm just an unhappy man
   E		A
So try and do what you can
D		     Bm
I'll never make you blue
D               Bm      E
I'll never be untrue again

A		B7      D
If you could see me now
E		   A       E
You'd come running back to me
A		  B7		D
I'm just a little shell of the man
E	    A	     E
Of the man I used to be
