What If I Told You A Story

    C               F      C
I know that I have made mistakes
                C           F      C
Like when I introduced you as a friend
        C             F       C
And I pray to God it's not too late
          C           F      C
As I'm dreaming wide awake again
          C           F          C
Yeah, we got so close I couldn't see
    C               F         C
Laughing while we painted my room, yeah
     C              F       C
And all along the joke's on me
             C             F     C
Now you're happier with someone new


[Chorus]

  F        G
What if I told you a story
 C            G
All about someone who loves you
     F                       G               Am
And what if I told you he's sorry he made you wait
      F        G                             E               Am
And what if I told you he's dying 'cause he can't change history
      F             G                   C
And what if I told you that someone was me


[Verse 2]

        C        F               C
When I call you late, I know he's there
          C                 F        C
But you still pick up and leave the bed
  C               F        C
You speak low so he can't hear
          C                      F       C
And it gives me hope there's something left


[Chorus]

 F        G
What if I told you a story
 C          G
All about someone who loves you
      F        G                             Am
And what if I told you he's sorry he made you wait
     F          G                             E              Am
And what if I told you he's dying 'cause he can't change history
      F         G                       C
And what if I told you that someone was me


[Verse 3]

        F
And when you ask me who I'm seeing now
                 G
I wanna say it's you I'm thinking about
                  Am
I'm tryna find the words somehow
                  Am
To say the things that I never said
        F                           G
I'd do whatever it takes, I need to know what'd you say
               Am                         Am
Cause you've got a hold on me, yeah, you got a hold of me


[Chorus]

 F          G
What if I told you a story
  C            G
All about someone who loves you
      F        G                               Am
And what if I told you he's sorry he made you wait
      F        G                             E             Am
And what if I told you he's dying 'cause he can't change history
      F         G                     C
And what if I told you that someone was me


[Verse 4]

  F            G
I'm ready to tell you a story
  C      G
I am somebody who loves you
  F                      G      Am
I wanna tell you I'm sorry
     F             G
And darling just listen don't worry
               E       Am
We could go down in history
 F             G                    C
Why don't you let your somebody be me?
