If I Had My Way

            G
If I had my way
                         C
Every road had been the right one
                      G
Every burden been a light one
        Em               D
Every chance the one to take

             G
If I had my way
                                 C
I'd found everything I've been missin'
                             G
I wouldn't have a need for wishin'
            Em              D
I wouldn't want for better days

:Chorus 1:
                 C
But if I had my way
                     G
I never would have learned
      Em             D                              G
The blessings of a struggle, or the lessons in the hurt
                      C
I would have lost a moment
                        Em (fade out)
When you find a little faith
C
God knows where I'd be
D            G
If I had my way

             G
If I had my way
                            C
I'd have never touched the bottle
                         G             Em          D
Never found in a couple swallows, can numb most anything

             G
If I had my way
                          C
I'd have never let love leave
                      G           Em            D
Never felt a pain so deep, never cried so many tears

:Chorus 2:
             C
If I had my way
                     G
I never would have known
       Em          D                         G
The strength of admiting, that you can't let go
                      C
I would have lost a moment
                        Em (fade out)
When you find a little faith
C
God knows where I'd be
D            G
If I had my way

-Instrumental-
G, Em, D

:Chorus 3:
                 C
Oh, If I had my way
                     G
I never would have believed
              Em          D                                G
That You can get through anything, when your down on your knees
(pause)G              C
I would have lost a moment
                        Em (fade out)
When you find a little faith
C
God knows where I'd be
D            Em
If I had my way
C
God knows where I'd be
D           G (Fade Out)
If I had my way
