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
D F#m Bm G A
[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
