[Verse 1]
E E9sus
If melody is my destiny
C#m9 C#m7 D6sus2
Then what's left of me
D6sus2 E
I'll give to you
E
If next to me
E9sus
Is all that you need to be
C#m9 C#m7 D6sus2
Would you settle for fantasy
D6sus2 E
If it's the best you could do
[Verse 2]
Bsus/G#
Can I have my cake
A(add9)
Can I have you too
Bsus/G#
Would you follow me
C#m9* C#m7* C#m9* C#m7*
Could I ask you to
F#m11
Would the world between us
F#m11
Break these ties
Bsus/G#
We've work so hard to realize
F#7
Can a postcard say
F#7
What I see in your eyes
A(add9) B9sus E
Could I ever break away
[Intro 2]
E E9sus C#m9 C#m7 D6sus2 E
[Verse 3]
E
Would I be satisfied
E9sus
And find peace inside
C#m9 C#m7 D6sus2
Rolling half my life
E
Over broken white lines
Bsus/G#
Can I have my cake
A(add9)
Can I have you too
Bsus/G#
Would you follow me
C#m9* C#m7* C#m9* C#m7*
Could I ask you to
F#m11
Will I wake up one morning
F#m11
And see your face
Bsus/G#
And streaks on the window
Bsus/G#
That the rainstorm makes
F#7
Could you bear all the weight
F#7
And the strength that it takes
A(add9) B9sus E
Could I ever break away
[Intro 3]

I think that John doesn't play (x07600)/(7x7600).. he seems to be using
(x0220x) and (x2x220).

I only have one version of the song and I hear (4x45xx) at 3:15 min. I
think it might be a mistake but I'm not sure.
