C                  F       C
Staring outside my kitchen door
C                         F          C
The smell of coffee, that feeling of morning
    G                    C           F
The sound of your voice, soft in my ear
F                                     G
I've done nothing that deserves being here

      C                     F        C
I try not to imagine, I try not to regret
C                              F            C
I've been thinking of you near enough to forget
        G                                    C           F
But the painful song of the past plays in the back of my mind
F                                      G
And I have to admit I still listen sometimes

        F C                  G
What if I can't change who I was?
        F C                   G
What if I can't give you real love?
         F                C      G
Then you look my way, and I just say
   F       C           F       C           F       C
So what if I can't, so what if I can't, so what if I can't

G                       C C F C
        And what if I can?

C C F C

C                                       F              C
Now you know where I've come from and I know you don't care
C                                        F          C
It's in the back of my mind, but I can't get back there
           G                      C             F
Though the past withers away when you look in my eyes
F                                          G
Baby, tell me the truth, do you see it sometimes?

        F C                  G
What if I can't change who I was?
        F C                   G
What if I can't give you real love?
         F                C      G
Then you look my way, and I just say
   F       C           F       C           F       C
So what if I can't, so what if I can't, so what if I can't

G                       C
        And what if I can?

C G

            F              C      G
Yeah, and I know I'm gonna fall short
          F               C         G
I'm gonna get back up and fall some more
           C            F               G
But I will fall on your love and I will get back up
         G
You will lift me up


        F                  C            G
What if I, what if I can't change who I was?
        F C                   G
What if I can't give you real love?
         F                C      G
Then you look my way, and I just say
   F       C           F       C           F       C
So what if I can't, so what if I can't, so what if I can't

G                       C C F C
        And what if I can?

C C F C

C                        F          C
The sound of your voice, soft in my ear
C                             (End)
I've done nothing that deserves being here
