As If chords by A-ha (Ver. 2)

• Difficulty: Intermediate

Key: G



Verse 1:
G
 When you point at the sky
D/F#           C
 What you hit will be far away
 D
Funny that
G
 With the naked eye
D/F#           C
 You might look at a star and say
      D      Em     D
It's like somebody's playing with us
        Am     D
It's borderline suspicious

Chorus:
   G
As if, the hum of the heavens above
D              C
 Murmurs from the afterglow
Am      F           C
 Will not be mysteries for all tomorrows
   G
As if I'll empty out a lake with a spoon
D                C
 Buy a plot of land on the moon
Am       F
 Where we can hide away
         C
And tend our sorrows


Verse 2:
G
 Will you look at the time?
D/F#
 I don't know what
  C
Got over me
 D
Yes
I do
G
 Hope you don't mind
D/F#
 I'll be off
   C
Momentarily
   D    Em
For me to intrude
     D
In this way
     Am
Highly unusual
     D
You might say


Chorus:
   G                 D
As if, like a shirt worn thin thru the years
                C
I'll let you down the moment I tear
Am    F
 I can assure you
            D
That won't happen ever
   G                 D
As if, you're standing on the edgeof a cliff
               C
Unaware your footing might slip
Am      F             C
 I won't be there to push you back forever
