Bm                D                    G
I've thought this through a thousand times
Bm           D               G
What I would do to make you mine
A              G
Other girls can play their games
A             Bm
I would rather play it safe
Bm          D        G
Nobody gets hurt that way

[Chorus]
              D
But if I were someone else
                             F#m
I'd be braver and I wouldn't hesitate
                                 Bm
To walk right up to you and say, "Dance with me"
                  G    A
If I were someone else
            D
If you were someone else
                           F#m
The entire room would just fall away
                            Bm
To you, I'd be the only one in this place
                    G
If you were someone else
A                 D
If I were someone else

[Verse 2]

Bm              D               G
The whole scene plays out in my head
Bm            D              G
The evening's coming to an end
A             G
Suddenly, the lights are low
A              Bm
The DJ puts on something slow
    Bm                D        G
The perfect chance to hold you close

[Chorus]
              D
And if I were someone else
                             F#m
I'd be braver and I wouldn't hesitate
                                  Bm
To walk right up to you and say, "Dance with me"
                  G    A
If I were someone else
            D
If you were someone else
                           F#m
The entire room would just fall away
                            Bm
To you, I'd be the only one in this place
                    G
If you were someone else
A                 D
If I were someone else

[Bridge]
     D                  Bb
And, yes, this might be shaky ground
    Bm             G
But I know where I stand
                   D
It's not worth the fight
    Bm                A             G
I'm fine with walking home alone tonight

[Chorus]
              D
But if I were someone else
                             F#m
I'd be braver and I wouldn't hesitate
                                  Bm
To walk right up to you and say, "Dance with me"
                  G    A
If I were someone else
            D
If you were someone else
                           F#m
The entire room would just fall away
                            Bm
To you, I'd be the only one in this place
                    G
If you were someone else
A                  D
If I were someone else
