INTRO: C G/B Am F Dm F C
IfC only I'd have liG/Bstened to Amall of my closest fFriends
AndC knew that it was G/Bover and the pAmarty had to Fend
IfC only I'd have nG/Boticed the sAmadness in her eFyes
She'dDm still be in my aFrms tonight, if oCnly
IfC only I'd have rG/Bealized the unimAmportance of being cFool
To Cgive a kiss and G/Bmaybe just say 'dAmarling I love yoFu'
IfC only I'd said I'm G/Bsorry, I'd have Ambeen a much better Fman
She'dDm still be in my aFrms tonight, if oCnly
There's anAm emptiness that fCills my heart
EmNow that she's not hCere
I Amloved her more than my oFwn life
SAmomething I've always DmfearedF, if oCnly
IfC only I had come G/Bhome that night
Instead of sAmtayin' out for one more dFrink
IfC only I'd been uG/Bnconcerned what the oAmther guys may thiFnk
IfC only I'd have held her G/Btight, but I Amguess it's too late Fnow
ODmh how blind could Fone man be, if oCnly
Woah oh butF I will Gnot be sCad after aFll the fGun we've Amhad
You lCive some G and you leFarn some, if oCnly
BRIDGE: G# D# Bb F G# D# Bb C
F C Dm F C Dm
C Bb C Am Bb C F
IfC only I could cG/Bonvince her the imAmportance of one more chFance
IfC only God would aG/Bllow me Amone more celestial dFance
IfC only I had the nG/Berve to call herAm up and tell her how I fFeel
She'Dmd still be in my aFrms tonight, if oCnly
But it's oAmnly love and lovCe ain't real
EmIt's only a four letter wCord
We spenAmd half our lives chasing aFfter it
How wAmonderfully absuDmrd, Fif onCly
Woah woah buFt I will Gnot be Csad after Fall the fGun we Amhad
You lCive someG and you leFarn some
Woah butF I will not Gbe saCd after aFll the fGun that we Amhad
You lCive somGe and you leFarn some
You lFearn some, if onCly
