If Its Alive It Will

G                        Am   
my friend you are unique but not 
    D7
always
G                              Am
some stranger you don't know has 
               D7
surely felt your pain
G                         Am     
some stranger out there might 
            D7
even own your name
    C                              
and said all the things you've once
 Am
 said
              C                  
your thoughts existing in someone 
     Am
else's head

   G                        Am    
it's true you are one of my 
            D7
favorite books to read
 G                             
i have to thank you now, you've 
 Am                D7
changed the way i think
         G                 Am     
and with each page i turn, there 
   D7
you are
         G                      Am
and with each word i read rings 
         D7
true in my heart

C                         
while i was waiting i found 
  Am              D7
something i was missing
C                                 
might not have been a man, but why
      Am                  D7
 waste good-willed love on wishing

i'll hold your mirror all you 
           D7
have to do is turn around
C                           Am   
so you can see the face you make 
            D7             C
as you are giving out your soul
                         Am

already know

G                         Am    D7
i used to think i was the only one
G                         Am    D7
i used to think i was the only one
G                         Am    D7
i used to think i was the only one
         C                         
but i've learned quite a few things
       Am
 since then
C                                 
i've learned that no one ever

my friend if it's alive, it will 
     D7
do anything
G                           Am   
and if it's strong as well, 
      D7
believe it will go there
G                         Am     
and if it's full of love, know it
      D7
 is capable of
G                      Am        
emptying itself out at any point 
   D7
at all
G                                 
just know the height you reach is 
    Am                  D7
the distance you could fall

C

           Am                 D7
one that's worth most of your time
C                                 
know your own heart well you could
    Am                    D7
 be surprised at what you find
