[Chorus 1]
   Fm                    Eb                Ab
If I were, if I were, if I were in your place
         Fm                    Eb                  Ab
If the light that was shining upon you fell on my face
   Ab                    Bbm                    Fm
Oh, I would have purpose, I would have peace if I had your fire and grace
   Fm                    Eb                Ab
If I were, if I were, if I were in your place


[Verse 1]
    Ab                               Bbm
I'd never seen you struggling with crisis, who would have thought
       Fm
That someone so vibrant was suffering in silence?
  Ab                                 Bbm
I just thought if I could take your spot for a day
            Fm
That would wash all of my problems away, but you wear that
   Ab                       Bbm
Mirage of perfection like a mask for depression
        Fm
Never asked if you're okay, only asked for your blessing
       Ab                   Bbm
I'm fathomless, once I was blind with my judgements

[Verse 2]
       Ab
But happiness doesn't coincide with abundance
Bbm
If we could truly see the beauty in simplicity
Db
Maybe you and me could soothe the beast and live blissfully?
Fm
Is it our wonder or the struggle in our nature
Eb
That creates a hunger till we're coveting our neighbour?
Bbm
Because everybody want an ace of diamonds
Db
When they're holding a deck of spades
Fm
We're all tryna fill a place inside us
Eb                               Db
A prison guard to an empty space

[Chorus]
   Fm                    Eb                Ab
If I were, if I were, if I were in your place
         Fm                    Eb                  Ab
If the light that was shining upon you fell on my face
   Ab                    Bbm                    Fm
Oh, I would have purpose, I would have peace if I had your fire and grace
   Fm                    Eb                Ab
If I were, if I were, if I were in your place


[Verse 3]

Get it
                  Ab                       Bbm
When we find our value in other people's beauty
                      Fm
When all we see is champions and we are just fans
                Ab                           Bbm
When we're so shallow and impressed by the jewelry
                  Fm
We find it so challenging 'cause we are just Stans
                  Ab                   Bbm
And they are all gods, they are all goddesses
                 Fm
We are just the hive in the halls of our offices
               Ab                        Bbm
We are just admirers, but find that the thing is
               Ab
The happiest people that we know, the least ambitious
     Bbm
Look, with success comes the lessons like
               Db
Don't get me wrong, I feel blessed, but like every time
          Fm
I've been sitting in a winning position, I felt confusion
           Eb                                                 Ab
'Cause it didn't feel like winning, just felt like I wasn't losing
     Bbm
I'm trying to destroy my heroes
           Db
Because I'm not trying to claw at peaks
      Fm
I can admire your fire, but still know that we're
Eb
All born flawed human beings, you know?

[Bridge]
Db  Bbm
Db                     Bbm
If you were in my place
Db                        Eb
You'd see your fire and grace


[Chorus]
   Fm                    Eb                Ab
If I were, if I were, if I were in your place
         Fm                    Eb                  Ab
If the light that was shining upon you fell on my face
   Db                    Bbm                    Fm                    Ab
Oh, I would have purpose, I would have peace if I had your fire and grace
   Bbm                    Db               Fm
If I were, if I were, if I were in your place


[Post-Chorus]
Ab        Bbm
Troubled waters can appear
Fm
Calm on the surface
Ab       Bbm
A cool façade can be
Fm
Fuelled by a furnace, I got
Db           Bbm
Grace under fire, you got
Fm        Ab
Fire and grace
        Bbm                   Db               Fm
But if I were, if I were, if I were in your place
