INTRO: C G/B Am F Dm F C
If only I?d have li[G/B]stened to all of my closest friends
And knew that it was [G/B]over and the party had to end
If only I?d have n[G/B]oticed the sadness in her eyes
She?d still be in my arms tonight, if only
If only I?d have r[G/B]ealized the unimportance of being cool
To give a kiss and [G/B]maybe just say ?darling I love you?
If only I?d said I?m [G/B]sorry, I?d have been a much better man
She?d still be in my arms tonight, if only
There?s an emptiness that fills my heart
Now that she?s not here
I loved her more than my own life
Something I?ve always feared, if only
If only I had come [G/B]home that night
Instead of stayin? out for one more drink
If only I?d been u[G/B]nconcerned what the other guys may think
If only I?d have held her [G/B]tight, but I guess it?s too late now
Oh how blind could one man be, if only
Woah oh but I will not be sad after all the fun we?ve had
You live some and you learn some, if only
BRIDGE: G# D# Bb F G# D# Bb C
If only I could c[G/B]onvince her the importance of one more chance
If only God would a[G/B]llow me one more celestial dance
If only I had the n[G/B]erve to call her up and tell her how I feel
She?d still be in my arms tonight, if only
But it?s only love and love ain?t real
It?s only a four letter word
We spend half our lives chasing after it
How wonderfully absurd, if only
Woah woah but I will not be sad after all the fun we had
You live some and you learn some
Woah but I will not be sad after all the fun that we had
You live some and you learn some
You learn some, if only
