Hey guys, I really hope you enjoy playing this song! It's from the brand new musical If/Then, staring Idina Menzel, which comes to broadway in March 2014!
I'm already addicted to its music and trying to catch every little glimps of this wonderful songs. Sadly, I won't ever have the chance to see the original cast, 'cause I'm from Germany and it's a long long way to NY and I'm still a student. So I have to content myself with listening to the music when the CD comes out.
Since there was no sheet music to this song I tried to come up with some chords. I know that some of them are probably wrong, but I think this is enough to sing along.
Please correct me if you see mistakes! Hope you enjoy :)
