If I Could Just Get It On Paper by Jimmy Buffett


       If I Could Just Get It On Paper 



Capo:no capo 
 
F               Bb        F
If I could just get it on paper
Bb                            F
The things that have happened tonight
Bb                      F
But that seems to me to be the big key
          G                       C
I'm havin' too good a time to ever turn Out the lights.
F              Bb        F
Go to bed wake up eith a clear head
F              Bb        F
Recalling what made it a ball
Bb                        F
If I could just get it on paper
C                             F
I might make some sense of it all
 
F               Bb          F
If I could tell half of the stories
Bb                        F
The funny way most things begin
Bb                             F
Figure ways to disguse all the half truths and lies
         G                         C
Find the heart of my song with the point of a pen
F                Bb            F
Simple words can become clever phrases
F                  Bb        F
And chapters could turn into books
Bb                            F
Yes if I could just get it on paper
C                            F
But it's harder than it ever looks.
 
[Instrumental]
F                Bb          F
All alone in the edge of the water
Bb                          F
Hidin' out by the Sea of Cortez
Bb                                        F
With my sketch pads and Flairs, tapes and battery spares
          G                      C
It's just no comprehendo to what everyone says
F                    Bb            F
Time alone seemed to work well for Faulkner
F                  Bb           F
Time away seems to work for the kid
Bb                               F
Life and ink they run out at the same time
C                            F
Or so said my old friend the squid
Bb                            F
Yes if I could just get it on paper tonight
C                             F
I could tell you what I think I did.
