Chords for If I could By: Celine Dion

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
If I could, I'd protect you from the sadness [Ab] in your [Abm] eyes
[Bb] Give you courage [F] in a world [Eb] of compromise
_ [Ab] _ Yes, I would
If I could, [Eb] I would teach you all the things [Ebm] I've never learned
And I'd help you [F] cross the bridges [Bb] that I've burned
_ [Eb] _ Yes, I [Cm] would
If [Ab] I could, [Bb] I would try to shift your innocence [Eb] from time
[Cm] But the [Ab] part of life I gave [D] you isn't [Bb] mine
I've watched you [G] grow, so [Cm] I could [G] let you [Eb] go _ _
If I, [Ab] _ _ _ I [Eb] would help you make it through [Ebm] the hungry years
[F] But I know that I could never [Bb] cry your [Bbm] tears
[Eb] But I would, [Ab] if I [Db] could
If [Ab] _ _
_ _ [Fm] I live [Bb] in a time and place where [Eb] you don't wanna be
You [Ab] don't have to walk along [D] this road with me
[G] My yesterday _ [Cm] won't have to [G] be your _ _
[Eb] _ _ [C] _ [Bb] new
I would [Am] try to change [F] the world [Fm] I brought you to
_ [G] And there isn't very much [Gm] that [Cm] I could do
[F] But I would, _ [G] _ if _
[Eb] _ Oh [Bb] baby, I just want to protect you
And help my baby through the hungry years
[F] Cause you're part of me, [Eb] and if you ever, ever, ever need
[Bb] A set of shoulders to cry [Cm] on, or just someone to talk to
[C] I'll be there
I [Eb] didn't change _ your [Bb] world _ _
[Cm] _ But I [C] would, _ [F] _
[Cm] if Mmm
