C F C
I know that I have made mistakes
C F C
Like when I introduced you as a friend
C F C
And I pray to God it's not too late
C F C
As I'm dreaming wide awake again
C F C
Yeah, we got so close I couldn't see
C F C
Laughing while we painted my room, yeah
C F C
And all along the joke's on me
C F C
Now you're happier with someone new
[Chorus]
F G
What if I told you a story
C G
All about someone who loves you
F G Am
And what if I told you he's sorry he made you wait
F G E Am
And what if I told you he's dying 'cause he can't change history
F G C
And what if I told you that someone was me
[Verse 2]
C F C
When I call you late, I know he's there
C F C
But you still pick up and leave the bed
C F C
You speak low so he can't hear
C F C
And it gives me hope there's something left
[Chorus]
F G
What if I told you a story
C G
All about someone who loves you
F G Am
And what if I told you he's sorry he made you wait
F G E Am
And what if I told you he's dying 'cause he can't change history
F G C
And what if I told you that someone was me
[Verse 3]
F
And when you ask me who I'm seeing now
G
I wanna say it's you I'm thinking about
Am
I'm tryna find the words somehow
Am
To say the things that I never said
F G
I'd do whatever it takes, I need to know what'd you say
Am Am
Cause you've got a hold on me, yeah, you got a hold of me
[Chorus]
F G
What if I told you a story
C G
All about someone who loves you
F G Am
And what if I told you he's sorry he made you wait
F G E Am
And what if I told you he's dying 'cause he can't change history
F G C
And what if I told you that someone was me
[Verse 4]
F G
I'm ready to tell you a story
C G
I am somebody who loves you
F G Am
I wanna tell you I'm sorry
F G
And darling just listen don't worry
E Am
We could go down in history
F G C
Why don't you let your somebody be me?
