What If We Went to Italy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]What if we went to Italy
A suitcase of books and one
bag [Am]a piece for [C]the summer?
I don't speak a word [G]of Italian
Ex[D]cept for Campari and soda for two
How much is a Lire? Yes, a villa will [C]do
And a breeze [G]in Tuscany please

[Verse 2]
[G]What if we spent all of our days
Improving our minds,
learning new ways to be [C]lazy
It wouldn't be too much of [G]a strain
Re[D]lax after breakfast till
lunch comes around
Can't wait for dinner; oh, I
need to lie [C]down
And refuel out [G]by the pool

[Verse 3]
[C]What if the ancients were [D]lazy like us
Too [Bm]blissed-out to to paint,
[G]to ske[Em]tch, or to scu[Am]lpt
Just as relaxed as [B]the tower of Pisa
[Em]Not ever missing that old [G]Mona Lisa

[Verse 4]
[C]What if we never got [D]back on the plane
As [Bm]summer turned colder
[Em]and then warmer again
[Am]Losing all track of [D]the passing of years
Till it [C]no longer mattered how [D]long we'd been

[Interlude 1]
here
[C][D][Bm][Em][Am][B][C][D]

[Verse 5]
[G]What if we went to [Am]Italy[G]
Maybe next year,
just you and me for [C]the summer
I still can't speak any [G]Italian
But [D]words are replaced
under Siennese skies
By nothing so much as a nod and [C]a sigh
And a wish to be always like this
