F#m D A E
[Verse]
Why do you F#mlook at me like tDhat.
Your eyes saying thAings that they can't take bEack.
Feels F#mgood. Feels rDight. It don't hAelp.
Every nF#might when the quiet gets lDoud,
I hate that I knAow what you're doing right nEow.
Your F#marms aroDund someone eAlse.E  
[Pre-Chorus]
EvDery time I'm next to you, I swEear that you can feel it too.
                               D  E*
How long can we do this to ourselves?
[Chorus]
In a different pDlace and tAime,
maybe in aEnother F#mlife, I bet that baby yDou and AI would have woErked.
We'll never get the chDance to tAry.
And what maEkes it wF#morse is
You would’ve loDved me, if you mEet me fiArst.
[Verse]
I can't even cF#mount all the times I've thoDught
About the lAine I'd never crEoss.
But I've crF#mossed that lDine in my hAead.E  
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't stDeal you from somebody else, jEust to have you to myself.
                                       D  E*
My heart don't wanna hear me tell the truth.
[Chorus]
In a different pDlace and tAime,
maybe in anEother F#mlife, I bet that baby yDou and AI would have woErked.
We'll never get the chDance to tAry.
And what maEkes it wF#morse is
You would’ve loDved me, if you mEet me fiArst.
[Bridge]
ID'm not hanging on to hope.
                     E      A                              D  E*
If you do or if you don't, I don't ever wanna know for sure.
[Chorus]
                 D*       A*
In a different place and time,
            E*   F#m*                   D*     A*
maybe in another life, I bet that baby you and I would have worked.
We'll never get the chDance to tAry.
And what maEkes it wF#morse is
You would’ve loDved me, if you mEet me fiArst.
You would’ve loDved me, if you mEet me fiArst.
                   D*              E*      A*
Oh, you would’ve loved me, if you met me first.
