I get lost, messed up, and bored when I'm alone too long
I can't sleep, function, or eat when I'm not with someone
Late last fall she ended it all and moved to who knows where
Just like that she vanished and packed and never even called

Refrain 1: (power chords)
          G5                 D5         A5
Do feel a certain sense of synergy between yourself and me
           G5             D5                    A5
A kind of macabre somber wonder twin type of harmony

Chorus:
               D5  E5  G5
What if it was you?
A5           D5     E5   G5
You that I needed all along
A5             D5   E5  G5
I felt like a fool
A5           D5          E5     G5      A5        D5
Kicking and screaming and pretending we were wrong

(Repeat Intro)

Verse:
D5                                         A5
Let's get wrecked on poptarts and sex and see the Taj Mahal
D5                                              A5
Let's save birds from Prince William Sound and skateboard through the mall
D5                                              A5
Let's fight crimes with mangoes and limes and join the PGA
D5                                   A5
Let's win big with every spin, but hurry I can't wait

Refrain 2: (single strum )
               G5                D5                  A5
Do you spend a fortune on those late night prepaid television scams
                 G5                 D5                         A5
In search of the perfect brand of steak knife and non-stick frying pan?

Chorus 2:
                D5  E5  G5
What if it was you?
A5           D5      E5   G5
You that I needed all along
A5             D5  E5  G5
I felt like a fool
A5             D5       E5      G5
Thinking we were completely wrong
A5                D5
It seemed like a dream
             E5
A beautiful scream
             G5           A5            D5
That echoed forever and made us not afraid to feel the same

And after it ends
               E5
We'll try to be friends
                   G5              A5                 D5
And they say what doesn't kill us makes us who we are

Bridge:
D-- - F#5 2x
D5                                          F#5
All this time and everything's changed, but I still feel the same
D5                                   F#5
All good things eventually end and get washed down the drain
        G5                 D5            A5
What a disaster it would be if you discovered that I cared
              G5                    D5               A5
A little too much for friends, but not enough to share

Chorus 3:
               D5  E5  G5
What if it was you?
A5            D5     E5   G5
You that I needed all along
A5              D5  E5  G5
I felt like a fool
A5           D5        E5     G5
Now that I know that I was wrong
A5            D5  E5  G5
It had to be you
A5            D5  E5  G5
It had to be you
A5            D5  E5  G5
It had to be you
A5          D5   E5  G5  A5  D5  F#5
I knew it was you
