[Verse 1]
D A
If i was me, I’d be the one
G A D
You’d run to, when your world comes under
D A
I’d stand by you, and i’d stand tall
G A D
If i was me, but i’m not at all
[Verse 2]
D A
If i was me, i’d wear a smile
G A D
I’d be that guy that love life like a child
D A
And i’d have friends, they’d come around
G A D
If i was me, but im not right now
[Chorus]
G A D A G
Cuz im not the man i was and i haven’t been for years
D A
So much more than blood’s running through my veins
G A D A G
And i have been the cause of sleepless nights and needless tears
D A
Something else is taking hold of the reins
[Verse 3]
D A
If i was me, i’d put it down
G A D
I’d hear the door and never turn around
D A
I’d strong road home, and make things right
G A D
If i was me, but im not tonight
[Chorus]
G A D A G
Cuz im not the man i was and i haven’t been for years
D A
So much more than blood’s running through my veins
G A D A G
And i have been the cause of sleepless nights and needless tears
D A
Something else is taking hold of the reins
[Verse 4]
D A
So lord hear my plea, im down on my knees
G A D
Help me to be the me you want me to be
D A
Cuz my flesh is weak, but maybe you can see
G A
An ounce of good that I can do
D
If I was me
[Outro]
A G A D
