[Intro]
G D Em C
[Verse]
WGhat if I told you about my little nothing town
TDhe two room house where I came from
TEmhe man that I got my name from
I Cdon't even know where he is now
WGhat if I told you sometimes I lose my faith
I Dwonder why someone like you would even talk to me
WEmhat if I told you there's no fixing me
CCause everybody's already tried
[Pre-chorus]
Would yGou stay?
Would yDou leave?
I cEmould wait
It'll all comCe out eventually
[Chorus]
If I Gtold you all the stupid Dthings I've done
I've blamed on bEmeing young
But I was oCld enough to know I know
If I Gtold you the mess that I can bBme
BmWhen there's no one there to seeEm  
EmCould you look the other way?C  
CCould you love me anyway? G  D  Em  C  
[Verse]
WGhat if I told you I don't plan on staying here
MDy dreams are a million miles away
AEmnd I know your family's gonna want you to stay
You knCow what I don't blame 'em

So IG'll say
What I don't Dwant to
And I'll just Empray
You want what CI do
