Impossible

Words & Music by Steve Allen, 1956
Recorded by Nat King Cole, 1958


C   Am7     D7/9  D7/9/F#  G6     G/F#  E7 
If they had  ev  -  er    told me     

Am7         Cdim  D9   Bm7-5  E7
How sweet a kiss could  be,

C  C/B       Am7   Cdim  G6              G/F#  Em7
I would have said, "Im - pos - si - ble, 

     Am7            Cdim D7/9  G6    E
Im - pos - si - ble       for  me."


C   Am7     D7/9 D7/9/F#  G6       G/F#  E7 
And if they said  I'd    find you 

Am7        Cdim    D9   Bm7-5  E7
Beyond the rain - bow's end,

C  C/B       Am7   Cdim  G6              G/F#  Em7
I would have said, "Im - pos - si - ble, 

Am7                  Cdim   G
Im - pos - si - ble,  my friend."


Bridge:

Fdim   Am7  D7/9  D9    G  G/F#      Em7   
To   dream about what might    have been

     Am7     D9       G
Is strange enough for me;

    Cdim     B7      D7/9   G
But now it seems I'm living in

    E      Bm7-5       Cdim    D9   D7 
A dream too beau - ti - ful to be.


C   Am7     D7/9 D7/9/F#  G6      G/F# E7 
If they had said   a     moonbeam         

Am7          Cdim   D9 Bm7-5  E7
Could calm a stor - my  sea,

C  C/B       Am7   Cdim  G6              G/F#  Em7
I would have said, "Im - pos - si - ble, 

    Am7   D7/9   Bm7-5   E7
But now at last I see

C    C/B    Am7 Cdim  G6              G/F#  Em7
That nothing is  im - pos - si - ble 

   Am7     A7   D7/9 G
If you are here with me.
