[Verse 1]
Am G D
When it’s so ea-sy to fail
Am G D
That it’s easier to bail
Am G D
When it seems the stars have aligned
FM7/C D
To leave you hopelessly resigned
Am G D
When all the reasons have you clutchin’ at your hair
Am G D
And the repercussions feel like more than you can bear
Am G D
Do you take the easy way and walk off in despair?
FM7/C D
Aside from you would anybody even care?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em G
Well there’s just one thing I hold on to
Bm D
When I’m slipping down the slope
Em G D
I hold tight on to this one small piece of hope
[Chorus 1]
C G Dsus4 D
What if I make it all the way?
D Dsus4 C G Dsus4 D
Yeah what if I make it through the fray?
D Dsus4 C G Em D
What if everything we ever dreamed could be, we really find someday?
D Dsus4 C G Dsus4 D
Yeah what if we make it all the way?
[Verse 2]
Am G D
But what if I’m stopped and end up forcibly restrained?
Am G D
What if I’m too week and I get lost or lead astray?
Am G D
What if I’m too slow and everything gets blown away?
FM7/C D
Maybe it would be smarter just to let the whole thing lay
Am G D
Only I’ve worked too hard and gone too far to back away
Am G D Dsus4
But what if you’re so far gone that all that I can do is pray?
D Am G D Dsus4
I need a miracle but God’s on holiday
D FM7/C D
But even so I just can’t help in wonderin’
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em G
At that one shot in a million
Bm D
That diamond in the rough
Em G D
That feeling so damn good, you just can’t get enough
Em G
It might very well be crazy
Bm D
But I can’t resist the call
Em G D D5
And I’m thinkin’ that I’m gonna risk it all
[Chorus 2]
C G Dsus4 D
What if I make it all the way?
D Dsus4 C G Dsus4 D
Yeah what if I make it through the fray?
D Dsus4 C G Em D
What if everything we ever dreamed could be, we really find someday?
D Dsus4 C G Dsus4 D
Yeah what if we make it all the way?
[Bridge]
D FM7/C G D
And I still feel that pain when I stare off into the blue
FM7/C G Em Am
But it’s a small price for the thought of finally, getting back to you
FM7/C G
And you should know, that in the end there’s nothin’
Am G FM7/C D
That I wouldn’t do to get to you
FM7/C D
To get to you
Em C
So let the world cry trepidation
G D
When faced with “come what may”
Em G
Cause if you ask me “what if”
D
This is what I’ll say:
[Chorus 3]
C G Dsus4 D
What if I make it?
D Dsus4 C G Dsus4 D
What if I make it through the fray?
D Dsus4 C G Em D
What if everything we ever dreamed could be, we really find someday?
D Dsus4 C G Dsus4 D
Yeah what if I make it all the way?
[Hook]
C G D
What if I make it all the way?
[Outro]
