INTRO:  C5  G5  A5  F5  D5  F5  C5

  C5                G5       A5                 F5
If only I?d have listened to all of my closest friends
   C5                 G5           A5          F5
And knew that it was over and the party had to end
  C5               G5         A5             F5
If only I?d have noticed the sadness in her eyes
     D5               F5                C5
She?d still be in my arms tonight, if only


  C5               G5             A5                 F5
If only I?d have realized the unimportance of being cool
   C5               G5              A5              F5
To give a kiss and maybe just say ?darling I love you?
  C5                  G5             A5                 F5
If only I?d said I?m sorry, I?d have been a much better man
     D5               F5                C5
She?d still be in my arms tonight, if only


          A5               C5
There?s an emptiness that fills my heart
E5                  C5
Now that she?s not here
  A5                      F5
I loved her more than my own life
 A5                   D5    F5     C5
Something I?ve always feared, if only


  C5                G5
If only I had come home that night
            A5                       F5
Instead of stayin? out for one more drink
  C5               G5                  A5               F5
If only I?d been unconcerned what the other guys may think
  C5                       G5          A5                  F5
If only I?d have held her tight, but I guess it?s too late now
 D5                F5               C5
Oh how blind could one man be, if only


           F5       G5       C5         F5       G5        A5
Woah oh but I will not be sad after all the fun we?ve had
     C5        G5           F5             C5
You live some   and you learn some, if only

  C5              G5               A5                     F5
If only I could convince her the importance of one more chance
  C5                G5     A5                  F5
If only God would allow me one more celestial dance
  C5                G5             A5                      F5
If only I had the nerve to call her up and tell her how I feel
    D5                F5                C5
She?d still be in my arms tonight, if only


          A5              C5
But it?s only love and love ain?t real
E5                       C5
It?s only a four letter word
       A5                        F5
We spend half our lives chasing after it
     A5             D5  F5    C5
How wonderfully absurd, if only


            F5        G5      C5         F5        G5     A5
Woah woah but I will not be sad after all the fun we had

You live some and you learn some

Woah but I will not be sad after all the fun that we had
     C5      G5           F5
You live some and you learn some
     F5               C5
You learn some, if only
