If It Were Me

G        C        D  G  C        Em      G  
Her eyes tell the story too many nights alone
G         C         D   G         C       Em       D
He always takes for granted she's waiting there at home
C                        Em       C                G
He treats her like she's nothing, man that guy's a fool
C        C/B    Em                  D
Can't he see he holds a priceless jewel
           G         C           Em    D
If it were me I'd be thanking my lucky stars
           G         C           Em    D
If it were me I'd be holding her in my arms
     C      Em   D           G          C
 
She'd never ever wonder what true love means
C           G   C  D  G  C  D
If it were me
 
G              C       D     G        C        Em       G
I've heard the lies he tells her when he stays out 'til dawn
G            C        D    G   C      Em        D
The stuff he tries to sell her nobody buys for long
C                 Em              C                    G 
She deserves much better than the crumbs he throws her way
C            C/B       Em          D
I think it's time somebody set him straight
           G         C           Em    D
If it were me I'd be thanking my lucky stars
           G         C           Em    D
If it were me I'd be holding her in my arms
     C      Em   D           G          C
 
She'd never ever wonder what true love means
C           G   C  D  
If it were me
Em                  D  G          C                  G
Someday she's gonna realize she's worth a whole lot more
Bb                                Am  D
I'll be right there waiting at her door
           G         C           Em    D
If it were me I'd be thanking my lucky stars
           G         C           Em    D
If it were me I'd be holding her in my arms
     C      Em   D           G          C
 
She'd never ever wonder what true love means
C           G   C  D  G  C  D  G
If it were me
