[Verse 1]
G G
Oh, yes, I remember your black dress and how you turned my mind
D D
completely into such a mess so easily.
G G
And it really came as no surprise, you looked beyond compare
D D
and every time that I came close to make a move I froze.
Em F#m Em A
I always do that and I know it.
[Chorus]
D D
If I could only be some kind of poet,
G G
if I could have my way with words, if only for a day,
D D
I would tell you what I feel so you'd know it,
G G
because I would know just what to say if only I was
D D
some kind of poet.
[Verse 1]
G
And the next time you walk through that door
G
I really need to try to talk to you
D D
but every time I do I end up like a fool.
G G
Yeah, when I try to tell you how I feel strange things happen to me
D D
and I lose my way, I don't know what to say.
Em F#m Em A
It's always like this and I know it.
[End-Chorus]
D D
If I could only be some kind of poet,
G G
if I could have my way with words, if only for a day,
D D
I would tell you what I feel so you'd know it,
G G
because I would know just what to say if only I was
D D
some kind of poet.
G G D D
If only I was a poet, if I was some kind of poet,
G G D D D
if only I was a poet, just some kind of poet.
