I tried to look for the correct chords for this song
and found most of them to be inaccurate, so I tried to correct them.
I hope you will be pleased with my version.
I find my version more accurate (not perfect though)
than most that I have seen here. :) hehe..

The story behind the song

"It Might Be You" captures the quiet yearning of someone who has spent a long time observing life from a distance, watching lovers pass by and trains go by. It’s a song about the deep hope that the person you've been waiting for, the one who will fulfill all those dreams, is finally here. Written by Dave Grusin with lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman, and performed by Stephen Bishop, it was a key song in the 1982 film Tootsie. At its heart, it plays like a tender, open-hearted wish for connection.
