[Verse 1]
Em
There's a time when the heart can no longer give in

You'll try to stand up and fight
C
You've known pain for so long and you know what's gone wrong
D
But you can't make it right
Em
Another broken heart is all your feeling
D
How can you go on
C Am
But the memories of times there was love in your eyes
Dsus7 D
Keep leading me on
[Chorus]
Am
If it were you
D
Would you hold on and hope that it might
Em D G
Bring back the dreams we once knew
Em D Em
Or give up forever that part of your life
C
Tell me what you would do
C Em
If it were you
[Verse 2]

You can never take back all you've given in love
D
No matter how hard you try
C
It's over and done you just have to let go
D
Though a part of you died
Em
Another waste of time is all that's left now
D
But life must go on
C Am
All the nights that we spent, never thought they would end
Dsus7 D
Why can't they go on
[Chorus]

If it were you

Would you hold on and hope that it might

Or give up forever that part of your life

If it were you

Asking you deep down inside

Did we really try
