C Am7 D7/9 D7/9/F# G6 G/F# E7
If they had ev - er told me
 
Am7 Cdim D9 Bm7/5- E7
How sweet a kiss could be,
 
C C/B Am7 Cdim G6 G/F# Em7
I would have said, "Im - pos - si - ble,
 
Am7 Cdim D7/9 G6 E
Im - pos - si - ble for me."
 
C Am7 D7/9 D7/9/F# G6 G/F# E7
And if they said I'd find you
 
Am7 Cdim D9 Bm7/5- E7
Beyond the rain - bow's end,
 
C C/B Am7 Cdim G6 G/F# Em7
I would have said, "Im - pos - si - ble,
 
Am7 Cdim G
Im - pos - si - ble, my friend."
 
Bridge:
 
Fdim Am7 D7/9 D9 G G/F# Em7
To dream about what might have been
 
Am7 D9 G
Is strange enough for me;
 
Cdim B7 D7/9 G
But now it seems I'm living in
 
E Bm7/5- Cdim D9 D7
A dream too beau - ti - ful to be.
 
C Am7 D7/9 D7/9/F# G6 G/F# E7
If they had said a moonbeam
 
Am7 Cdim D9 Bm7/5- E7
Could calm a stor - my sea,
 
C C/B Am7 Cdim G6 G/F# Em7
I would have said, "Im - pos - si - ble,
 
Am7 D7/9 Bm7/5- E7
But now at last I see
 
C C/B Am7 Cdim G6 G/F# Em7
That nothing is im - pos - si - ble
 
Am7 A7 D7/9 G
If you are here with me.
