INTRO: C G/B Am F Dm F C
C G/B Am F
If only I?d have listened to all of my closest friends
C G/B Am F
And knew that it was over and the party had to end
C G/B Am F
If only I?d have noticed the sadness in her eyes
Dm F C
She?d still be in my arms tonight, if only
C G/B Am F
If only I?d have realized the unimportance of being cool
C G/B Am F
To give a kiss and maybe just say ?darling I love you?
C G/B Am F
If only I?d said I?m sorry, I?d have been a much better man
Dm F C
She?d still be in my arms tonight, if only
Am C
There?s an emptiness that fills my heart
Em C
Now that she?s not here
Am F
I loved her more than my own life
Am Dm F C
Something I?ve always feared, if only
C G/B
If only I had come home that night
Am F
Instead of stayin? out for one more drink
C G/B Am F
If only I?d been unconcerned what the other guys may think
C G/B Am F
If only I?d have held her tight, but I guess it?s too late now
Dm F C
Oh how blind could one man be, if only
F G C F G Am
Woah oh but I will not be sad after all the fun we?ve had
C G F C
You live some and you learn some, if only

C G/B Am F
If only I could convince her the importance of one more chance
C G/B Am F
If only God would allow me one more celestial dance
C G/B Am F
If only I had the nerve to call her up and tell her how I feel
Dm F C
She?d still be in my arms tonight, if only
Am C
But it?s only love and love ain?t real
Em C
It?s only a four letter word
Am F
We spend half our lives chasing after it
Am Dm F C
How wonderfully absurd, if only
F G C F G Am
Woah woah but I will not be sad after all the fun we had
C G F
You live some and you learn some
F G C F G Am
Woah but I will not be sad after all the fun that we had
C G F
You live some and you learn some
F C
You learn some, if only
