C G/B Am F
If only I’d have listened to all of my closest friends
C G/B Am FAnd knew that it was over and the party had to end
If only I’d have noticed the sadness in her eyes
Dm F CShe’d still be in my arms tonight, if only
If only I’d have realized the unimportance of being cool
C G/B Am FTo give a kiss and maybe just say “darling I love you”
C G/B Am FIf only I’d said I’m 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
Em CNow that she’s not here
Am FI loved her more than my own life
Something I’ve always feared, if only
If only I had come home that night
Am FInstead of stayin’ out for one more drink
C G/B Am FIf only I’d been unconcerned what the other guys may think
If only I’d have held her tight, but I guess it’s too late now
Dm F COh how blind could one man be, if only
F G C F G Am
Woah oh but I will not be sad after all the fun we’ve had
C G F CYou live some and you learn some, if only
BRIDGE: G# D# Bb F G# D# Bb C
If only I could convince her the importance of one more chance
C G/B Am FIf only God would allow me one more celestial dance
C G/B Am FIf only I had the nerve 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
Em CIt’s only a four letter word
Am FWe 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
C G FYou live some and you learn some
F G C F G AmWoah but I will not be sad after all the fun that we had
You live some and you learn some
F CYou learn some, if only
