(listen to the song for timing)

Verse:

G
Would you still love me 
      C
If I wrote you bad songs? 
Em
Would you feel the same 
         A7
If it's hard to sing along? 
C
Would you still love me 
       G  D/F# Em
If I sang off key?
 C                G/B       D       G          
That would mean a lot to a boy like me


G
Would you still love me
      C
If I lost the race?
Em
Would you pick me up       
          A7               (E:---0~-)
When I'm flat on my face?  (B:-3~---)
           C
Would you love the man you got
                  G      D/F#       Em
When he ain't the man he hoped he'd be?
 C                G/B       D       G 
That would mean a lot to a boy like me


Chorus:

           C
A boy like me
           G 
Just gotta know
             Em
If I throw a line
             A7
Will you let go?
           C 
A boy like me
     G     
So insecure  
                 Em
That a girl like you
    D      C   G 
Can be for sure

Verse:

G
I would still love you
              C
If you can't shed the extra pounds
       Em
I will hold back your hair
              A7                   (E:---0~-)
If you've had one too many rounds  (B:-3~---)
C
I'll even try my best to forgive
       G          D/F#   Em
God forbid you're once untrue
        C                 G/B      D         C 
I think that would mean a lot to a girl like you
        C                 G/B      D         G
I think that would mean a lot to a girl like you


Chorus:

            C
A girl like you
             G
Is the reason why
             Em
If it's just right
               A7
You ain't gotta try
          C       
And a girl like you
         G
Always secure 
           Em
A boy like me 
   D    G
Is yours for sure

Verse:

G
Would you still love me
          C
When the hair left goes grey?
          Em  
Would you mind the company
             A7
When there's not so much to say?
     C
And would you still talk to me
          G    D/F# Em
When I'm just a memory?
C                 G/B      D         C
That would mean a lot to a boy like me
C                 G/B           D        G
That would mean everything to a boy like me
