              A
It's just a theory
           D                 G  D   E
There's a possibility I am wrong
              A
It's just a theory
    D
But I would stake my life
 G       D    E
Lay my money down

Chorus:
      A
That you were meant for me
                    G
And for you I'm the one

It's just a theory
A particular set of assumptions
It's just a theory
An educated guess
A conclusion not forgone

Chorus

    C
Oh nothing's new under the sun
   G
But I will postulate
D
Ask for your consideration
    C
Ask you out on a date
Although it can't be sure
     G
Why not act on a hunch?
     D
Oh why not search for proof?
     C
Why not go out for lunch?
         A     D
And in theory, I could propose
         G    D            E
And in theory you could affirm

Chorus:
         C
Oh that you were meant for me
     D              G  D   E
And for you I'm the one
         C
Oh that you were meant for me
     D              G
And for you I'm the one

It's just a theory
A series of tests should be run
It's just a theory although not fully assessed
An idea whose time has come

Chorus:
That you were meant for me
And for you I'm the one
That you were meant for me
And for you I'm the one
