[Verse 1]
When it’s so Amea-Gsy to faDil
That it’s AmeasiGer to baDil
When it seems the stAmars Ghave alDigned
To leave you FM7/Chopelessly resDigned
When all the rAmeasons have you clGutchin’ at your haDir
And the repercAmussions feel like mGore than you can bDear
Do you take the eAmasy way and wGalk off in despDair?
Aside from yFM7/Cou would anybody even cDare?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well there’s just Emone thing I hold oGn to
When I’m Bmslipping down the slDope
I hold Emtight on to this oGne small piece of hDope
[Chorus 1]
What if I Cmake it aGll the wDsus4ay?D  
DYeah what iDsus4f I   Cmake it thrGough the frDsus4ay?D  
DWhat iDsus4f everyCthing we ever dreGamed could be, we Emreally find someDday?
DYeah what Dsus4if we Cmake it aGll the wDsus4ay?D  
[Verse 2]
But what if I’m sAmtopped and end up fGorcibly restraDined?
What if I’m too wAmeek and I get lGost or lead astrDay?
What if I’m too slAmow and everythiGng gets blown awDay?
Maybe it would be smFM7/Carter just to let the whole thing lDay
Only I’ve worked too hAmard and gone too fGar to back awDay
But what if you’re so far Amgone that all that GI can do is prDayDsus4?
DI need a mAmiracle but GGod’s on holidDayDsus4  
DBut even sFM7/Co I just can’t help in wonderDin’
[Pre-Chorus 2]
At that Emone shot in a mGillion
That dBmiamond in the roDugh
That feeling sEmo damn good, you jGust can’t get enoDugh
It might Emvery well be crGazy
But I Bmcan’t resist the cDall
And I’m tEmhinkin’ that I’m gGonna risk it DallD5  
[Chorus 2]
What if I Cmake it aGll the wDsus4ay?D  
DYeah what iDsus4f I   Cmake it thrGough the frDsus4ay?D  
DWhat iDsus4f everyCthing we ever dreGamed could be, we Emreally find someDday?
DYeah what Dsus4if we Cmake it aGll the wDsus4ay?D  
[Bridge]
DAnd I still feel that FM7/Cpain when I stare Goff into the blDue
But it’s a smFM7/Call price for the thoGught of finally, Emgetting back to yAmou
And you should knFM7/Cow, that in the Gend there’s nothin’
AmThat I wGouldn’t dFM7/Co to get to Dyou
To get to yFM7/CouD  
So let the wEmorld cry trepidCation
When fGaced with “come what mDay”
Cause if you Emask me “what if”G  
This is what I’ll Dsay:
[Chorus 3]
What if I CmaGke Dsus4it?D  
DWhat Dsus4if I  Cmake it thrGough the frDsus4ay?D  
DWhat Dsus4if everyCthing we ever dreGamed could be, we Emreally find someDday?

[Verse 1]

Am G D

When it’s so ea-sy to fail

Am G D

That it’s easier to bail

Am G D

When it seems the stars have aligned

FM7/C D

To leave you hopelessly resigned

Am G D

When all the reasons have you clutchin’ at your hair

Am G D

And the repercussions feel like more than you can bear

Am G D

Do you take the easy way and walk off in despair?

FM7/C D

Aside from you would anybody even care?

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Em G

Well there’s just one thing I hold on to

Bm D

When I’m slipping down the slope

Em G D

I hold tight on to this one small piece of hope

[Chorus 1]

C G Dsus4 D

What if I make it all the way?

D Dsus4 C G Dsus4 D

Yeah what if I make it through the fray?

D Dsus4 C G Em D

What if everything we ever dreamed could be, we really find someday?

D Dsus4 C G Dsus4 D

Yeah what if we make it all the way?

[Verse 2]

Am G D

But what if I’m stopped and end up forcibly restrained?

Am G D

What if I’m too week and I get lost or lead astray?

Am G D

What if I’m too slow and everything gets blown away?

FM7/C D

Maybe it would be smarter just to let the whole thing lay

Am G D

Only I’ve worked too hard and gone too far to back away

Am G D Dsus4

But what if you’re so far gone that all that I can do is pray?

D Am G D Dsus4

I need a miracle but God’s on holiday

D FM7/C D

But even so I just can’t help in wonderin’

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Em G

At that one shot in a million

Bm D

That diamond in the rough

Em G D

That feeling so damn good, you just can’t get enough

Em G

It might very well be crazy

Bm D

But I can’t resist the call

Em G D D5

And I’m thinkin’ that I’m gonna risk it all

[Chorus 2]

C G Dsus4 D

What if I make it all the way?

D Dsus4 C G Dsus4 D

Yeah what if I make it through the fray?

D Dsus4 C G Em D

What if everything we ever dreamed could be, we really find someday?

D Dsus4 C G Dsus4 D

Yeah what if we make it all the way?

[Bridge]

D FM7/C G D

And I still feel that pain when I stare off into the blue

FM7/C G Em Am

But it’s a small price for the thought of finally, getting back to you

FM7/C G

And you should know, that in the end there’s nothin’

Am G FM7/C D

That I wouldn’t do to get to you

FM7/C D

To get to you

Em C

So let the world cry trepidation

G D

When faced with “come what may”

Em G

Cause if you ask me “what if”

This is what I’ll say:

[Chorus 3]

C G Dsus4 D

What if I make it?

D Dsus4 C G Dsus4 D

What if I make it through the fray?

D Dsus4 C G Em D

What if everything we ever dreamed could be, we really find someday?

D Dsus4 C G Dsus4 D

Yeah what if I make it all the way?

[Hook]

C G D

What if I make it all the way?

[Outro]

C G D
