IF THAT WAS ME

VERSE

WE SAY HELLO AT THE ELEVATOR
HER COVERGIRL BARELY COVERS LAST NIGHTS TEARS
SHE DOESN’T HAVE TO SAY WHAT’S WRONG
HER BOYFRIEND STAYED OUT AGAIN ALL NIGHT LONG

CHORUS

IF THAT WAS ME
SHE’D WAKE UP IN THE MORNING SMILIN’ NO MORE CRYIN’
IF THAT WAS ME SHE’D BE HAPPY OR I’D DIE TRYIN’ NO DENYIN’
I’D DO EVERY THING HE DOESN’T
AND BE THERE EVERY TIME HE WASN’T
IF THAT WAS ME

VERSE

SHE CONFIDED IN ME HOW SHE HATES THE CITY
WANTS TO TRADE CONCRETE GREY FOR RED GEORGIA CLAY
SIT ON THE PORCH AND WATCH HER KIDS
FAR FROM THE NIGHTMARE THAT SHE LIVES

CHORUS

IF THAT WAS ME
I’D BUILD HER A HOUSE IN THE COUNTRY LOTS OF PINE TREES
IF THAT WAS ME 
OUR KIDS WOULD HAVE ROOM TO RUN FREE AND SHE’D SEE
I’D DO EVERY THING HE DOESN’T
AND BE THERE EVERY TIME HE WASN’T
IF THAT WAS ME

BRIDGE

EVERY NIGHT I THINK ABOUT WHAT MIGHT’VE BEEN
IF SHE’D HAVE ONLY MET ME FIRST INSTEAD OF HIM

INSTRUMENTAL

I’D DO EVERY THING HE DOESN’T
AND BE THERE EVERY TIME HE WASN’T
IF THAT WAS ME
SHE’D WAKE UP IN THE MORNIN’ SMILIN’ NO MORE CRYIN’
IF THAT WAS ME
SHE’D BE HAPPY OR I’D DIE TRYIN’ NO DENYIN’
IF THAT WAS ME
I’D BUILD HER A HOUSE IN THE COUNTRY LOTS OF PINE TREES
IF THAT WAS ME….IF THAT WAS ME…IF THAT WAS ME….
