If I Were You

      E      B
2020 enemies
              C       Am
What a dismal odyssey
             E      B
Held by only apathy
             C       Am
Is there any remedy?
                      E         B
'Cause we bicker over Listerine
                    C       Am
With Twitter as our liturgy
              E      B
What a crummy legacy
     C       Am
2020 enemies


[Chorus]
          E   B
If I were you
          C     G
And you were me
                  A      G#m
Would we still be doomed
         G   F
To disagree?
                E    B
'Cause you'd be me
          C   G
If I were you
              A   G#m
And you never see
            G    F
My point of view
          E G#m A B
If I were you
           E G#m A B
If I were you, mm-mm


[Verse 2]
                E      B
Hey Romeo, it's Juliet
                    C        Am
Are you Montague or Capulet?
Continues after the ad
                    E        B      
         C  N.C.
Or some denigrating apathetic insult
 that we both forget?
                      E        B
'Cause fake is on the internet
                   C      Am
And fear is on the TV set
              E       B
Our rage is a habitat
             C          Am
For our 2020 novelettes


[Chorus]
          E              B
If I were you (If I were you)
             C               G
And you were me (And you were me)
                  A                
Would we still be doomed (Would we 
         G#m
still be doomed)
       G              F
To disagree? (To disagree?)
                E                  
'Cause you'd be me ('Cause you'd be
 B
 me)
          C              G
If I were you (If I were you)
              A                  
And you never see (And you never 
G#m
see)
            G                 F
My point of view (My point of view)
          E G#m A B
If I were you


[Bridge]
E                   C      
Hey babe, we're the dinosaurs 
    G  E
(Oh-oh)
E                            C   
I get the feeling we've been here
         G  E
 before (Oh-oh)
E                         C      
Ain't it clear what we're aiming 
      G  E
for? (Oh-oh)
E                   C
Hey babe, we're the dinosaurs
B                        E
Yeah, but what if me and you
N.C.
Were in each other shoes
N.C.
Could we break through?
N.C.
To somewhere different, somewhere 
new
                   Bass:    E  D#
'Cause if you're stuck with me
                       C#  B
I guess I'm stuck with you
          A             G#        
Could we rise above the scars that
         F#             B
 we both put each other through


[Chorus]
          E                        
If I were you (I think I'm ready to
 B
 try us)
             C#m                   
And you were me (I think I'm ready 
   E
to try)
                  A                
Would we still be doomed (To put 
       E
the past behind us)
        A                          
To disagree? (Yeah, to put the past
 B
 behind)
                E              
'Cause you'd be me ('Cause it's 
         B
already behind us)
          C#m                   
If I were you (Yeah, I'm sick of 
         E
falling behind)
          A                        
And all I see (I think I'm ready to
 E
 try us)
                   A             
Is what you put me through (Maybe 
                 B
I'd be ready to try)

[Other]
              E               
If I were you if you were me, I 
B          C
would be you
    G                 A
And then we'd both be true
  G#m              G     F
I wonder what we'd do
E              B          C
If you were me, I would be you
      G               A
Would one plus one be two?
  G#m              G     F
I wonder what we'd do
          E
If I were you
