_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [D]
Oh, [C] if I could build [F] my whole [C] world around you, [F] darling,
[C] first I'd put [F] heaven by [C] your [Dm] side.
[C] Pretty flowers [F] would grow [C] wherever you walked, [F] honey,
[C] and over your head [Dm] would be the [C] bluest sky.
Then [Em] I'd take every drop [C] of rain and [Em] wash all your troubles [Am] away. _
I'd have [Dm] the whole world [Em] wrapped up in [G] you, darling,
and that would be all right.
[F] _ Oh, if you [C] would.
If I could build [F] my whole world [C] around you,
[C] I'd make your [F] eyes the [C] morning sun.
[Dm] _
[C] I'd put so much love where there is sorrow.
I'd put joy [Dm] where there's never been none.
Then [Em] I'd give my [Am] love to you [Em] for you
to keep for the rest of your life. _
[Dm] And happiness would [D] surely be ours,
and that [C] would be all right.
[F] Oh, yes it would.
Da, da, da, [F] da, da, da.
[C] Da, da, da, da, da, [F] da.
[C] _ _ [F] _ Da, da, da, da, da, [C] da. _
[Dm] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [A] Oh, [D] if I could build my whole world around you,
I'd give you the [G] greatest gift that a woman could possess.
And [D] I'd step into this world you created
and give you true [G] love and [D] tenderness.
_ [G] And there'd [F#m] be something new, and there'd
[Bm] tomorrow _ [F#m] to make this world and _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ that [Em] would _ [F#m] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [D] be all [G] _ _ oh
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Em] _ _
