INTRO: C G Am F Dm F C
C G Am F
If only I?d have listened to all of my closest friends
C G Am F
And knew that it was over and the party had to end
C G 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 Am F
If only I'd have realized the unimportance of being cool
C G Am F
To give a kiss and maybe just say darling I love you?
C G 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
If only I had come home that night
Am F
Instead of stayin' out for one more drink
C G Am F
If only I'd been unconcerned what the other guys may think
C G 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

You live some and you learn some, if only

C G Am F
If only God would allow me one more celestial dance
C G 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
