If You Were the Woman and I Was the Man

G   Em   Am   D 


   G            Em        Am        D 
If you were the woman and I was the man,
        G               Em             Am                Cm
Would I send you yellow roses, would I dare to kiss your hand?
       Bm                 Am                Em                Am 
In the morning, would I caress you like the wind caresses the sand
   C            Am        D         G 
If you were the woman and I was the man?

If I were the woman and you were the man,
Would you send me yellow roses, would you dare to kiss my hand?
In the morning, would you caress me as the wind caresses the sand
If I were the woman and you were the man?

If I was the heart and you were the head,
Would you think me very foolish if one day I decided to shed
These walls that surround me just to see where these feelings led,
If I was the heart and you were the head?

Am   Bm - Cm   Em   Am

Cm   Bm - Am   G

If I was the woman and you - you were the man,
Would I laugh if you came to me with your heart in your hand,
And said, "I offer you this freely and will give you all that I can,
Because you are the woman and I am the man"?

(Words and music by Michael Timmins, 1992)
