Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse

I get lost, messed up, and bored when I'm alone too long

I can't sleep, function, or eat when I'm not with someone

Late last fall she ended it all and moved to who knows where

Just like that she vanished and packed and never even called

Refrain 1

(power chords)

Do feel a certain sense of synergy between yourself and me

A kind of macabre somber wonder twin type of harmony

Chorus

What if it was you?

You that I needed all along

I felt like a fool

Kicking and screaming and pretending we were wrong

(Repeat Intro)

Verse

Let's get wrecked on poptarts and sex and see the Taj Mahal

Let's save birds from Prince William Sound and skateboard through the mall

Let's fight crimes with mangoes and limes and join the PGA

Let's win big with every spin, but hurry I can't wait

Refrain 2

(single strum)

Do you spend a fortune on those late night prepaid television scams

In search of the perfect brand of steak knife and non-stick frying pan?

Chorus 2

What if it was you?

You that I needed all along

I felt like a fool

Thinking we were completely wrong

It seemed like a dream

A beautiful scream

That echoed forever and made us not afraid to feel the same

And after it ends

We'll try to be friends

And they say what doesn't kill us makes us who we are

Bridge

--- 2x

All this time and everything's changed, but I still feel the same

All good things eventually end and get washed down the drain

What a disaster it would be if you discovered that I cared

A little too much for friends, but not enough to share

Chorus 3

What if it was you?

You that I needed all along

I felt like a fool

Now that I know that I was wrong

It had to be you

It had to be you

It had to be you

I knew it was you
