If I Could (song)


(The letters are chord references for me)

C2

    C#m                 A                  E

If I could leave where would I go?

         A                

To a house with no home for me

      C#m

or friends who don't know me

             Fm                                 Gm

Where would I go? When will I know?

             A                                              E            

If I was older would I be wise enough to know?

If I was colder would it be easier to let this go? C#m      B

I keep holding on for a place that I call home   A       E

for a place I don't know, for a place I want to go  C#m       Fm  

for a place I want to go    A

 

If I could take back things that I said

and the time I wasted with you

and the wishes that won't come true

and the arguements from years ago over thousands of miles, only four months to go

 

If I was older would I be wise enough to know

If I was colder - will I ever let this go

I keep holding on for a place that I call home

for a place I don't know, for I place I want to go

for a place I want to go

 

When I'm older and I'm wise enough to know

I've been a fool for not letting go

and I'll say "Keep holding on for a place that you'll call home"

for a place you'll know, for a place you'll go

for a place you know

 

You know where time flies without goodbyes

only "til" I see you again

You know where memories made, only love stays

and I'll see it again
