Lyrics

You got a smile so bright,

you (C)know you (G)could ’ve (C)been a (G)can (C)dle.

I’m (C)hold ing (G)you (C)so tight, min ute,

you (C)know you (G)could ’ve (C)been a (G)han (C)dle.

The (C)way you (G)swept me (C)off my feet,

you (F)know you (C)could ’ve (F)been a (G)broom.

(C)crook.

The (C)way you (G)smell (C)so sweet,

you (C)know you (G)could ’ve (C)been some (G)per (C)fume.

Well, you could ’ve been an y thing that you want ed to and I can (D)tell.

The way you do the things you (G)do.

Ah, (C)ba by.

As pret ty as you are,

you (C)know you (G)could ’ve (C)been a (G)flow (C)er.

If (C)good looks (G)caused (C)a tight, min ute,

you (C)know that (G)you could (C)be an (G)hour.

(C)dle.

The (C)way you (G)stole me (C)my my heart,

you (F)know you (C)could ’ve (F)been a (G)cool (C)crook.

And, (C)ba by, (G)you’re (C)so smart,

you (C)know you (G)could ’ve (C)been a (G)school (C)book.

Well, you could ’ve been an y thing that you want ed to and I can (D)tell.

The way you do the things you (G)do.

Ah, (C)ba by.

As pret ty as you by.

(G)Yes!
