[Verse 1]
D Dmaj7 Bm
If you were a country, I'd be your flag

If you were a smoke, I'd be your drag
Em
And if you were a junkie, I'd be your fix
A7
If you were a critic, I'd be your pick
[Chorus 1]
D Dmaj7 Bm
I mean what I say
D Dmaj7 Bm
When I say I'd be your anything baby
Em
If you were a picture, I'd be your frame
A7
If you were the wounded, I'd be your pain
[Verse 2]
D Dmaj7 Bm
If you were so funny, I'd be your joke

Em
And if you were a gun, I'd be your kill
A7
If you were the party, I'd be the pills
[Chorus 2]
D Dmaj7 Bm

If you were a convict, I'd be your cell

If you were a housewife, I'd be your living hell
