If only I?d have listened to all of my closest friends
CG/BAmF
And knew that it was over and the party had to end
CG/BAmF
If only I?d have noticed the sadness in her eyes
DmFC
She?d still be in my arms tonight, if only
CG/BAmF
If only I?d have realized the unimportance of being cool
CG/BAmF
To give a kiss and maybe just say ?darling I love you?
CG/BAmF
If only I?d said I?m sorry, I?d have been a much better man
DmFC
She?d still be in my arms tonight, if only
AmC
There?s an emptiness that fills my heart
EmC
Now that she?s not here
AmF
I loved her more than my own life
AmDmFC
Something I?ve always feared, if only
CG/B
If only I had come home that night
AmF
Instead of stayin? out for one more drink
CG/BAmF
If only I?d been unconcerned what the other guys may think
CG/BAmF
If only I?d have held her tight, but I guess it?s too late now
DmFC
Oh how blind could one man be, if only
FGCFGAm
Woah oh but I will not be sad after all the fun we?ve had

You live some and you learn some, if only

If only I could convince her the importance of one more chance
CG/BAmF
If only God would allow me one more celestial dance
CG/BAmF
If only I had the nerve to call her up and tell her how I feel
DmFC
She?d still be in my arms tonight, if only
AmC
But it?s only love and love ain?t real
EmC
It?s only a four letter word
AmF
We spend half our lives chasing after it
AmDmFC
How wonderfully absurd, if only
FGCFGAm
Woah woah but I will not be sad after all the fun we had
CGF
You live some and you learn some
FGCFGAm
Woah but I will not be sad after all the fun that we had
CGF
You live some and you learn some
FC
You learn some, if only
