Fm Db Ab
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Fm Db Ab
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[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
[Outro]
Ab Bbm Fm
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
