This is how I use to play the song. It includes some additional chords to put a
little more depth in it. So ... enjoy!

G Em7
I could try you with a waltz, I could try you rock and roll,
D Dsus4 D7* D7**
I could try you with the blues. If a song would do
G Em7
I could sing it high or low. When I let you go you know,
D Dsus4 D7* D7**
I thought it was for the best - Now it is so obvious
G D/F# Em7
So here it is, here it goes - I could try rock and roll.
Cadd9 G Am7 D7
Change your life forever too, if a song could get me you
G D/F# Em7
I could make it high or low, sing it on the radio
Cadd9 G/B G/Bb D7sus4
If that is what I need to do, If a song could get me you ...
I could run for miles and miles, I'd take off and I'd start flying,
I could cross land and sea if you just believe me.
I should not have hurt you so, this old house is not a home,
Without you here there's no use. I've got no time left to lose.
[1xChorus]
Cadd9 G Am7 G Em7
If a song could get me through I'd sing my way right back to you,
Cadd9 G Am7 G Em7
Tell me how to make it right, tell me now, I'll start tonight.
Cadd9 G D D/C
I know I could make it last, I swear to you that if I knew
D/B Em7
What I was getting myself into
Am D7
I wouldn't answer to my fears, I'd never leave you standing there.
Just look at me. If you'd only see me
I would prove my love for you, I could swallow half the moon,
Just tell me where, tell me when. I will have you back again
[2xChorus; use Am7-D7 instead of G/Bb-D7add4 on first rep.]
