If Only

Em           G             D          Em
What do you do when they turn on the light?
Em             G               D         G
You guard your heart, so they steal your sight
    G            D          Em        D
You reach out in blindness, touch the alone
  Em        G             D          Em    E
His icicle fingers chill you to the bone
Am    C           G            Am
What do you do when the cat gets ya tongue?
Am          C        G        C
No way to tell it's all going wrong
C             G         Am     G
Mouth out the words on the telephone
Am      C        G        Am
Nobody answers, nobody's home…

[Chorus]
    D                A                 C#m    B
What's done has been done, and I won't be the one
     D                   A                      B
Who despairs in the wheelchair, resigned to "If only"
    D                            A
No, I'll stand up again and I'll run
      C#m          E          B
I'll jump up till I touch the sun
          D                      A
Because I won't be the one to be bound
                 B
By the sound of "If only, if only, if only"

[Verse 2]
       Em           G             D                Em
Well, I reach out in blindness now, but what do I care?
Em              G              D           G
I'll walk into walls and I'll stumble downstairs
      G           D              Em         D
I'll laugh like a fishwife, I'll cry like a clown
Em        G           D              Em     E
Up is the only way to go when you're down

[Verse 3]
     Am        C                  G          Am
When I reach a mountain top, then I start to climb
Am               C                G        C
I'll walk on the water, I'll turn water to wine
C             G          Am         G
Hope is the one thing we got on our side
Am            C           G            Am
Hope can be salvaged when all else has died

[Chorus]
    D                A                 C#m    B
What's done has been done, and I won't be the one
     D                   A                      B
Who despairs in the wheelchair, resigned to "If only"
    D                            A
No, I'll stand up again and I'll run
      C#m          E          B
I'll jump up till I touch the sun
          D                      A
Because I won't be the one to be bound
                 B
By the sound of "If only, if only, if only"
