If Only chords by James Arthur

Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro: Am  C

Verse 1:
Am                   D
I still remember my name
Am       C
But forgotten my royal mistakes
If only
Am                      D
I could go back in time
Am      D           C
   When you were a friend of mine
If only
F
We were just a little less tired and true
C                                    D
You were being you, and I was being too human
            F
But who was I fooling
     Am
Ohh if only
🎸

If only I could trust you'd
                            Em
Rest your head and turn the light on
    G                                                 Em
If only I could wish your kiss was not a falling star
   Am                                                 Em
If only I was yours, the shoulder that you'd wanna to cry on
    G                                                 F
If only you could pull me safely through these prison bars
            Am
Ehh if only

(If only, if only)
C
(If only, if only)

Verse 2:
Am
I took your crown of thorns
G                     C
Laid down to be reborn
If only
Am
I wasn't flesh and bone
         G
I could rise up from being stoned
If only
     F
You could see through someone like me
                                    D
Tryna be free, maybe just a little less lonely
             F
Ohh I was so lonely
      D    G
If only


Am
If only I could trust you'd
                                Em
Rest your head and turn the light on (If only, if only)
    G                                               Em
If only I could wish your kiss was not a falling star
(If only, if only)
     Am                                                 Em
If only I was yours, the shoulder that you'd wanna to cry on
(If only, if only)
G                                                       F
If only you could pull me safely through these prison bars
(If only)
           F  Am
Ehh if only

Bridge:
It's out with the old, I'll be new
F                          Am                     D
And don't worry about the drink and drugs, I am through
                                   Am
If only I believed that was true
                                                     F
We'd be living all the dreams in a house with a view

If only, if only you knew how the voices of demons could drown out the truth
       Em
Now my one place of freedom is sleeping with you
    C                  Am
If only, if only you knew


G    Am
  If only I could trust you'd
                             Em
Rest your head and turn the light on
     G                                              F
If only I could wish your kiss was not a falling star
             Am                          Em
If only, If only I was your shoulder to cry on
     G                                                F
If only you could pull me safely through these prison bars
             Am
Ehh if only
        C     Am  F
If only, if only    If only
