If
only I?d have li[G/B]stened to
all of my closest f
riends
And
knew that it was [G/B]over and the p
arty had to
end
If
only I?d have n[G/B]oticed the s
adness in her e
yes
She?d
still be in my a
rms tonight, if o
nly
If
only I?d have r[G/B]ealized the unim
portance of being c
ool
To
give a kiss and [G/B]maybe just say ?d
arling I love yo
u?
If
only I?d said I?m [G/B]sorry, I?d have
been a much better
man
She?d
still be in my a
rms tonight, if o
nly
There?s an
emptiness that f
ills my heart
Now that she?s not h
ere
I
loved her more than my o
wn life
S
omething I?ve always
feared
, if o
nly
If
only I had come [G/B]home that night
Instead of s
tayin? out for one more d
rink
If
only I?d been u[G/B]nconcerned what the o
ther guys may thi
nk
If
only I?d have held her [G/B]tight, but I
guess it?s too late
now
O
h how blind could
one man be, if o
nly
Woah oh but
I will
not be s
ad after a
ll the f
un we?ve
had
You l
ive some
and you le
arn some, if o
nly
BRIDGE: G# D# Bb F G# D# Bb C
If
only I could c[G/B]onvince her the im
portance of one more ch
ance
If
only God would a[G/B]llow me
one more celestial d
ance
If
only I had the n[G/B]erve to call her
up and tell her how I f
eel
She?
d still be in my a
rms tonight, if o
nly
But it?s o
nly love and lov
e ain?t real
It?s only a four letter w
ord
We spen
d half our lives chasing a
fter it
How w
onderfully absu
rd,
if on
ly
Woah woah bu
t I will
not be
sad after
all the f
un we
had
You l
ive some
and you le
arn some
Woah but
I will not
be sa
d after a
ll the f
un that we
had
You l
ive som
e and you le
arn some
You l
earn some, if on
