If I Could

C        G
He only calls you pretty
Am               F
When he puts his hands on your body
C                        G       
When he's drunk with his friends 
                 Am
after nights that don't end
                      F
I just wish he'd come home from that
 party
C                 G
You've got these big, brown eyes
Am             F
You've got the perfect smile
C                          G
But you're a dreamer, you think that
 he's a keeper
Am              F
But he's just a waste of time


[Pre-Chorus 1]
 F                      G
You don't wanna let him down
 Am        C             G
You don't see the higher ground


[Chorus]
C           G          Am       
If I could, if I could take your
       F
 place
C             G            Am   
Then I would, then I would walk 
    F
away
         C         G
But I'll be your shoulder to cry on
Am             F
Wipe the tears from your еyes
C          G             Am
If I could do it for you
     F            C G Am F C G Am F
Then I would say goodbye, goodbyе

[Verse 2]
C               G
It hurts me to watch you suffer
Am                F
It's been drivin' me insane
C                  G
You don't know the love you have to 
give
Am             F
And the beauty in your brain


[Pre-Chorus 2]
F                           G
But you don't wanna let him down
Am               C              
I wish you could see the higher 
G
ground


[Chorus]
C            G             Am   
And if I could, if I could take 
          F
your place
C           G              Am   
Then I would, then I would walk 
    F
away
         C        G
But I'll be your shoulder to cry on
Am              F
Wipe the tears from your eyes
C          G             Am
If I could do it for you
     F           C G Am F C G Am F
Then I would say goodbye, goodbye
F           C G Am F C G Am F
I would say goodbye, goodbye
F           C
I would say goodbye


[Bridge]
C                   F
I'm tired of your lies
                          Am
And if you don't get it right
                     G
I'm leaving you tonight
F                C
I would say goodbye
C                   F
I'm tired of your lies
                            Am
And if you don't get it right
                     G
I'm leaving you tonight


[Chorus]
C         G            Am       
If I could, if I could take your
     F
 place
C           G             Am    
Then I would, then I would walk 
    F
away
         C         G
But I'll be your shoulder to cry on
Am             F
Wipe the tears from your eyes
C           G           Am
If I could do it for you
      F          C G Am F
Then I would say goodbye
C             G
Wish I could do it for you
Am        F                G
