[Intro 1]
[G][Em][D][C][G][Em][D][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]You're
like some kinda lightnin'
[Bm]You say all of the right things[C]
You got me comin' alive

[Verse 2]
After all of the hurt I've had
[G]Hate how he's still got me
[Bm]Blame it on bad timin'
[C]You shouldn't come so close

[Verse 3]
When you're lookin' at me like that
[G]If I [Em]were you
I would be run[D]nin',
[C]I would be leavin' now
If [G]I were y[Em]ou I wouldn't l[D]ook back
[C]Oh, but I want you to
[G]Keep me in the bac[Em]k of your mind
[D]Maybe call me [C]up sometime
In a [G]couple- a years if you [Em]haven't
found somebody [D]new[C]
That's what [G]I would d[Em]o[D][C]
If [G]I w[Em]ere you[D][C]

[Verse 4]
[G]You wish I didn't miss him
[Bm]And I wish I could kiss you
[C]And have you be the only one
that I'm thinkin' about
[G]And I'm not strong enough to
[Bm]Resist for the both of us

[Verse 5]
[C]If you stay I'm gonna
break your heart
I would make it stop before it starts
[G]If I wer[Em]e you
I would be run[D]nin',
[C]I would be leavin' now
If [G]I were y[Em]ou I wouldn't look ba[D]ck
[C]Oh, but I want you to

[Verse 6]
[G]
Keep me in the [Em]back of your mind
[D]Maybe call me up [C]sometime
In a [G]couple- a years if you [Em]haven't
found somebody [D]new[C]
That's what [G]I would d[Em]o[D][C]
If [G]I w[Em]ere you[D][C]

[Verse 7]
[D]Who could do without you?
[Em]Baby, I have no doubt
[C]You'll have found somebody else
By the [D]time I figure it out

[Verse 8]
That's what [G]I w[Em]ould do, m[D]mm[C]
If [G]I w[Em]ere you[D][C]
If [G]I were y[Em]ou

[C]Oh, but I want you to

[Verse 9]

If [G]I were y[Em]ou
