If I Was Me

D A If i was me, I’d be the one G A D You’d run to, when your world comes under D A I’d stand by you, and i’d stand tall G A D If i was me, but i’m not at all D A If i was me, i’d wear a smile G A D I’d be that guy that love life like a child D A And i’d have friends, they’d come around G A D If i was me, but im not right now G A D A G Cuz im not the man i was and i haven’t been for years D A So much more than blood’s running through my veins G A D A G And i have been the cause of sleepless nights and needless tears D A Something else is taking hold of the reins D A If i was me, i’d put it down G A D I’d hear the door and never turn around D A I’d strong road home, and make things right G A D If i was me, but im not tonight G A D A G Cuz im not the man i was and i haven’t been for years D A So much more than blood’s running through my veins G A D A G And i have been the cause of sleepless nights and needless tears D A Something else is taking hold of the reins D A So lord hear my plea, im down on my knees G A D Help me to be the me you want me to be D A Cuz my flesh is weak, but maybe you can see G A An ounce of good that I can do D If I was me A G A D
