Well, I've been lying here

All alone

Wondering if you are

Ever coming home

I left on the light

By the bed

G A

In case, you were to call

What is wrong with me?

A Bm

I said, to myself

I never really thought

It would last

And here I am now

Fading fast

G A

But I will not sleep tonight

G A E

No, I could not sleep tonight

G A

Where would you go?

G A

What would you do?

If it wasn't me, it was you

G A

Where would you go?

G A

And what would you do?

G A

If it wasn't me, it was you

G A Bm

If it wasn't me, it was you

If only you could feel

My heart race

And see the light

On my face

G A

Then you would know the truth

G A Bm

And I would know the truth

Then maybe you don't like

What I brought

Well maybe I am not

What you thought

But don't worry

You are not

G E

What I thought you were

…either

G A

Where would you go?

G A

What would you do?

G E

If it wasn't me, it was you

G A

Where would you go?

G A

And what would you do?

G A

If it wasn't me, it was you

G A E

If it wasn't me, it was you

No matter how hard it gets

E Bm

No matter how thick your head is

There's always something

More to learn

Even if you just want to quit

G A

Where would you go?

G A

And what would you do?

If it wasn't me, it was you

G A

Where would you go?

G A

And what would you do?

G A

Where would you go?

G A

And what would you do?

G A

Where would you go?

G A

And what would you do?

G A

Where would you go?

G A

And what would you do?
