If 8 Were 9 chords

[INTRO]
[Ab] [Db] [Ab] [Db]
[Ab] [Db] [Ab] [Db]

[VERSE I]
If skin should [Eb]touch and words [Db]evaporate
Trouble [Ab]clear out of sight with my [Db6]whole body listening
My heart leans [Eb]out like these old [Db/F]river tree[Db]s
Closer to [Ab]be where you glide[Bbm] , moving [Db]under me, glistening

[CHORUS]
If 8 were [Ab]9, I would [Db]hold you
Yeah, I would [Ab]rock you
I would [Db]shelter you, darling
If 8 were [Ab]9, I would [Db]lift you
Lift you [Ab]clear off the ground
Through the [Db]gates into morning

[VERSE II]
The time would [Eb]stretch
Stretch out these [Db]magic hours
Into [Ab]days, into years
Tomorrow [Db]lost in the distance
A voice speaks [Eb]out
Says, "Hey man, [Fm7]let it go[Db]"
But when a [Ab]heart has been tru[Bbm7]e
Well, it don't [Db]make any difference

[CHORUS]
If 8 were [Ab]9, I would [Db]hold you
Yeah, I would [Ab]rock you
I would [Db]shelter you, darling
If 8 were [Ab]9, I would [Db]lift you
Lift you [Ab]clear off the ground
Through the [Db]gates into morning
If 8 were [Ab]9 [Db/F]
If 8 were [Ab/Eb]9 [Db]
If 8 were [Ab]9 [Db/F]
If 8 were [Ab/Eb]9
Through the [Db]gates into morning, yeah
