VERSE 1

Cmaj7                   Am7
    I hear the things you say
F                        G
    I read your mind and I understand
         Cmaj7                      Am7
Baby the plans you make somehow got off the track
      F                G
maybe so or we just forgot to plan



CHORUS
        F
if it's true
        G
I don't mind
          C             C\B                 Am7
there's a million other things that keep me up at night
F                      F#dim
  maybe it's not quite right
          Dm
but we'll find out
Dm F*   (C / intro riff)
if it's true


VERSE 2

Cmaj7                  Am7
    the coast is never clear
F                    G
    answers always beyond our reach
                Cmaj7                Am7
and though it's not my way won't you help me try
F                        G
let's make jam when life gives us a peach


CHORUS
        F
if it's true
        G
I don't mind
          C             C\B                 Am7
there's a million other things that keep me up at night
F                      F#dim
  maybe it's not quite right
          Dm
but we'll find out
Dm F*   (C / intro riff)
if it's true


BRIDGE

F                               G
    with every passing year the end draws near
F                       G
    another hope that's smashed
F                             G
    tell me it doesn't matter anyway
    C       C/B      Am7
and I don't feel let down
     F      G           Am7     C
it's always better when you are near


VERSE 3
          Cmaj7            Am7
won't you try a little bit harder?
        F                G
I could try a little bit more
             Cmaj7                    Am7
if you could only stop thinking about all of all that we miss
   F                             G
maybe we'll find just what we're looking for


CHORUS
        F
if it's true
        G
I don't mind
          C             C\B                 Am7
there's a million other things that keep me up at night
F                      F#dim
  maybe it's not quite right
          Dm
but we'll find out
Dm       F  G    F
find out if it's true
        G
I don't mind
          C             C\B                 Am7
there's a million other things that keep me up at night
F                      F#dim
  maybe it's not quite right
          Dm
but we'll find out

if it's true
