What If?

(Brad Mates/Greg Barnhill)


Intro:  D G D G



D                          A              Bm
She was the love of my life, back in '95
                                 G
We hardly spent a day and night apart
                             D
We were victims of a lonely heart
                    A                  Bm
I remember that day, it all went away
                            G
When I think about it even now
                           A
I find a reason to smile, somehow



Chorus:
                       D                        G
'Cause I've still got yesterday, running wild, yesterday
         A               D
When I close my eyes I drift away
                   G    A
Back where I come from
  Em                  D      G
Today may not be fair,  and tomorrow may not be there
                     D       G
But I've still got yesterday


D                                 A
Zack was the one to hang around
                               Bm
We used to drive through town 
                                  G
With all the girls in his daddy's car
                                      D
Said he was going to be a big league star
                             A                                Bm
But it was raining one night, and he didn't see the red light
                                     G
Now there's a stone where he used to be
                     A
And everybody cries but me


Chorus:
                       D                        G
'Cause I've still got yesterday, running wild, yesterday
         A               D
When I close my eyes I drift away
                   G    A
Back where I come from
  Em                  D      G
Today may not be fair,  and tomorrow may not be there
                     D    
But I've still got yesterday

Break:  D G Em D G A

Em
I've heard people say
               D             A
You learn the future by the past
        Em                       A
If it's any indication then I'm looking back


Chorus 2:
                        D                        G
'Cause I've still got yesterday, running wild, yesterday
        A               D
When I close my eyes I drift away
                 G      A
Back where I come from
D                                   G           A
Yesterday, when we had our dreams, yesterday, loud and free
    D                          G       A
I steal away and find that summer sun
Em                    D       G
Today may not be fair,  and tomorrow may not be there
                    D
But I've still got yesterday
