[Intro]
[just the note][just the note][chord]
Bb G F
[Verse 1]
C G C D
I've spent to many evenings on just one side of the bed
G
saving a place for you.
C G C D
One sided conversations wonderin' what you might said.
D
I bet you do that too.
Bb Dm Bb D
It always seems life gets in the way,
Bb Dm Bb D Am
but isn't this our choice to make?
[Chorus]
Bb Dm G D
What if all the clocks were suddenly broken?
Bb D Dm D Bb
Then time couldn't tell us when to go.
Bb Dm G D
What if we forgot what's standing between us?
Bb Eb F Bb
We wouldn't be so all alone.
Bb D C Bb D Bb
What could I say to have you stay?
[Instrumental]

Bb G F
[Verse 2]
C G
Oh God, what's happenin' to me?
C D
I've got too much goin' on,
G
but there's something about this girl.
C G
I'm working day and day out -
C G
I find my time is just gone.
G
But could she change my world?
Bb Dm Bb D Am
Not sure if she's even thinkin' 'bout me.
Bb Dm Bb D
Just play it cool, take a breath, and see.
[Chorus]
Bb Dm G D
What if all the clocks were suddenly broken?
Bb D Dm D Bb
Then time couldn't tell us when to go.
Bb Dm G D
What if we forgot what's standing between us?
Bb Eb F Bb
We wouldn't be so all alone.
Bb D C Bb D Bb
What could I say to have you stay?
[Verse 3]
C G
I don't know what I'm doing
C D
inside of some sort of dream.
G
How did I get here?
C G
My thoughts are all about him,
C G
but tell me how can that be?
G D
I like him that's clear.
Bb Dm Bb D
Sometimes a door's put in front of you.
Bb Dm Bb G F
Do you keep it closed or walk on through?
[Chorus]
Bb Dm G D
What if all the clocks were suddenly broken?
Bb D Dm D Bb
Then time couldn't tell us when to go.
Bb Dm G D
What if we forgot what's standing between us?
Bb Eb F Bb
We wouldn't be so all alone.
Bb D C
What could I say?
D G
What would I tell?
G D Bb D C
What would I say to have you stay?
F G
to have you stay
F G
(yeah), to have you stay (oh)
F Dm C
What if I stay?
