Lyrics
What if I were you?
Threw a line out to (Gsus)pull you (G)to me.
If you don’t get it, then you don’t get it.
You made your mind up be (Gsus)fore you (G)knew me.
If you don’t get it, then you don’t get it.
(Am)Take my hand for (G)a min ute.
We’re in it; im (F5)ag ine all the (Am)pain that might be for giv en.
What if I had your heart?
What if you wore my scars?
How would we break down?
What if you were me, and (G)what if I were you?
What if you told my lies?
What if you cried with my eyes?
Could an y one keep us down?
What if (C)you were me?
(G)What if I were you?
Had a dream of a (Gsus)new to (G)mor row.
If you don’t get it, then you don’t get it.
I took a step, hop ing (Gsus)you might (G)fol low.
If you don’t get it, then you don’t get it.
(Am)Take a chance for (G)a min ute, jump in it, im (F5)ag ine if you (Am)asked your self for a min ute: What if I had your heart?
What if you wore my scars?
How would we break down, break if down, were me, and (G)what if I were you?
What if I told your lies?
What if I cried with your eyes?
Could an y one keep us down?
What if (C)you were me?
(G)What if I were you?
(C)you were me, and (G)what if I were you?
To the ones who make it bet ter, find to get out, got ta (F)touch the (Am)oth er side.
What if all that it (F)took to save our lives
to geth er was to (Dm11)rise
(Fmaj7)up?
(C)you were me?
(G)What if I were you?”
What if (C)your hand was my hand?
Could we (G)hold on or let go?
What if (Fsus2)your life was my life?
Can we (G)love what we don’t know?
What if (Fsus2)your hand was my hand?
Could we (G)hold on or let go?
What if (Fsus2)your life was my life?
And (G)what if I were you?
