	  		INTRO:  C  G/B  Am  F  Dm  F  C 

  C                G/B       Am                 F 
If only I?d have listened to all of my closest friends 
   C                 G/B           Am          F 
And knew that it was over and the party had to end 
  C               G/B         Am             F 
If only I?d have noticed the sadness in her eyes 
     Dm               F                C 
She?d still be in my arms tonight, if only 

  C               G/B             Am                 F 
If only I?d have realized the unimportance of being cool 
   C               G/B              Am              F 
To give a kiss and maybe just say ?darling I love you? 
  C                  G/B             Am                 F 
If only I?d said I?m sorry, I?d have been a much better man 
     Dm               F                C 
She?d still be in my arms tonight, if only 

          Am               C 
There?s an emptiness that fills my heart 
Em                  C 
Now that she?s not here 
  Am                      F 
I loved her more than my own life 
 Am                   Dm    F     C 
Something I?ve always feared, if only 

  C                G/B 
If only I had come home that night 
            Am                       F 
Instead of stayin? out for one more drink 
  C               G/B                  Am               F 
If only I?d been unconcerned what the other guys may think 
  C                       G/B          Am                  F 
If only I?d have held her tight, but I guess it?s too late now 
 Dm                F               C 
Oh how blind could one man be, if only 

           F       G       C         F       G        Am 
Woah oh but I will not be sad after all the fun we?ve had 
     C        G           F             C 
You live some   and you learn some, if only 

BRIDGE:  G#  D#  Bb  F  G#  D#  Bb  C 
         F  C  Dm  F  C  Dm 
         C  Bb  C  Am  Bb  C  F 

  C              G/B               Am                     F 
If only I could convince her the importance of one more chance 
  C                G/B     Am                  F 
If only God would allow me one more celestial dance 
  C                G/B             Am                      F 
If only I had the nerve to call her up and tell her how I feel 
    Dm                F                C 
She?d still be in my arms tonight, if only 

          Am              C 
But it?s only love and love ain?t real 
Em                       C 
It?s only a four letter word 
       Am                        F 
We spend half our lives chasing after it 
     Am             Dm  F    C 
How wonderfully absurd, if only 

            F        G      C         F        G     Am 
Woah woah but I will not be sad after all the fun we had 
     C       G          F 
You live some and you learn some 
        F           G    C        F       G          Am 
Woah but I will not be sad after all the fun that we had 
     C      G           F 
You live some and you learn some 
     F               C 
You learn some, if only
