I figured this out on piano to accompany a friend so I thought I'd throw it out there 
the guitarists too.  If you play the chords with finger-style arpeggios you can 
the piano part on the original recording.

You can use pretty much all open chords except for the C#m, which I play barre at the 
fret.

Emilie Autumn - What If

(From the album *Enchant*)


E5
Here you sit on your high-backed chair

E5
Wonder how the view is from there

E5
I wouldn't know 'cause I like to sit

Asus2		     B7
Upon the floor, yeah upon the floor

E5
If you like we could play a game

E5
Let's pretend that we are the same

E5
But you will have to look much closer

Asus2		     B7
Than you do, closer than you do

Asus2		     B7
And I'm far too tired to stay here anymore

Asus2		     B7
And I don't care what you think anyway

Asus2		     B7
'Cause I think you were wrong about me

Asus2		     B7
Yeah what if you were, what if you were


E		  B7
And what if I'm a snowstorm burning

C#m		  A
What if I'm a world unturning

E		  B7
What if I'm an ocean,

C#m		  A
far too shallow, much too deep

E		  B7
What if I'm the kindest demon

C#m		  A
Something you may not believe in

E		  B7
What if I'm a siren singing

C#m		  A
gentlemen to sleep

D - B7 - E


E5
I know you've got it figured out

E5
Tell me what I am all about

E5
And I just might learn a thing or two

Asus2			B7
Hundred about you, maybe about you

E5
I'm the end of your telescope

E5
I don't change just to suit your vision

E5
'Cause I am bound by a fraying rope

Asus2			B7
Around my hands, tied around my hands


Asus2			B7
And you close your eyes when I say I'm breaking free

Asus2			B7
And put your hands over both your ears

Asus2			B7
Because you cannot stand to believe I'm not

Asus2			B7
The perfect girl you thought Well what have I got to lose


E		B7
And what if I'm a weeping willow

C#m		A
Laughing tears upon my pillow

E		B7
What if I'm a socialite

C#m             A
who wants to be alone

E		B7
What if I'm a toothless leopard

C#m		A
What if I'm a sheepless shepherd

E		B7
What if I'm an angel without

C#m             A
wings to take me home

D - B7 - E

E - Eb


C#m	  A
You don't know me

E	B7
Never will, never will

C#m	  A
I'm outside your picture frame

E	B7
And the glass is breaking now

C#m	  A
You can't see me

E	B7		D
Never will, never will

D
If you're never gonna see


E		B7
What if I'm a crowded desert

C#m		A
Too much pain with little pleasure

E		B7
What if I'm the nicest place

C#m		A
you never want to go

E		B7
What if I don't know who I am

C#m		A
Will that keep us both from trying

E		B7
To find out and when you have

C#m		A
Be sure to let me know


E		B7
What if I'm a snowstorm burning

C#m		A
What if I'm a world unturning

E		B7
What if I'm an ocean, far too

C#m		A
shallow, much too deep

E		B7
What if I'm the kindest demon

C#m		A
Something you may not believe in

E		B7
What if I'm a siren singing

C#m		A   B 	C#m
Gentlemen to sleep

A  B  C#m
Sleep...

A  B  C#m
Sleep...
