But now if I on ly had the op por tu (Bbmaj7)ni ty,

to have you back, I would (Cm7)do

an y (Dm7)thing,

be cause (Ebmaj7)my heart still be lieves.

May be you could be mine

a gain.

May be we could (Ebmaj7)make that dream for real, like way back then,

when (Fm9)love (Bb7)was (Ebmaj7)yours

and mine.

May be we could (Cm9)bring (Dm7)it (Gm)back (C7)to life.

It’s ir rel e vant to dwell on the past,

yeah, back yeah.

I’m ac count a ble for what went bad,

and I mean that.

But I keep on pray ing for an oth er chance (Bbmaj7)ni just

to have you back, ’cause I’ve (Cm7)grown,

and I (Dm7)know

how to (Ebmaj7)be your ev ’ry thing.

May be you could be mine

a gain.

May be we could (Ebmaj7)make that dream for real, like way back then,

when (Fm9)love (Bb7)was (Ebmaj7)yours

and mine.

May be we could (Cm9)bring (Dm7)it (Gm)back (C7)to life.

(D)No, (Gm6)no, it (D7)ain’t o ver yet, I just can’t ac cept

(C7)the pos si bil i ty

I know (Ebmaj9)you’re my des ti ny.

We can’t e rase what was meant to be (C7)part of you and part of me.

If we (Cm7)try

one more (Dm7)time,

may be (Ebmaj9)some how we’ll sur vive.

May be you could be mine

a gain.

May be we could (Emaj7)make that dream for real, like way back then,

when (F#m9)love (B7)was (Emaj7)yours

and mine.

Boy, may be we could (C#m9)bring (D#m7)it (G#m7)back,

may be we could (C#m9)bring (D#m7)it (Emaj9)back,

may be we could (Emaj7)bring (F#)it (C#m7)back (E)to

May be you could be mine.
