What If chords by Emilie Autumn

Chords with lyrics

I figured this out on piano to accompany a friend so I thought I'd throw it out there
the guitarists too. If you play the chords with finger-style arpeggios you can
the piano part on the original recording.

You can use pretty much all open chords except for the C#m, which I play barre at the
fret.

Emilie Autumn - What If

(From the album *Enchant*)


E5E5
Here you sit on your high-backed chair

E5E5
Wonder how the view is from there

E5E5
I wouldn't know 'cause I like to sit

Asus2Asus2		   B7B7
Upon the floor, yeah upon the floor

E5E5
If you like we could play a game

E5E5
Let's pretend that we are the same

E5E5
But you will have to look much closer

Asus2Asus2		   B7B7
Than you do, closer than you do

Asus2Asus2		   B7B7
And I'm far too tired to stay here anymore

Asus2Asus2		   B7B7
And I don't care what you think anyway

Asus2Asus2		   B7B7
'Cause I think you were wrong about me

Asus2Asus2		   B7B7
Yeah what if you were, what if you were


E MajorE		 B7B7
And what if I'm a snowstorm burning

C# minorC#m		 A augmentedA
What if I'm a world unturning

E MajorE		 B7B7
What if I'm an ocean,

C# minorC#m		 A augmentedA
far too shallow, much too deep

E MajorE		 B7B7
What if I'm the kindest demon

C# minorC#m		 A augmentedA
Something you may not believe in

E MajorE		 B7B7
What if I'm a siren singing

C# minorC#m		 A augmentedA
gentlemen to sleep

D MajorD - B7B7 - E MajorE

E5E5
I know you've got it figured out

E5E5
Tell me what I am all about

E5E5
And I just might learn a thing or two

Asus2Asus2			B7B7
Hundred about you, maybe about you

E5E5
I'm the end of your telescope

E5E5
I don't change just to suit your vision

E5E5
'Cause I am bound by a fraying rope

Asus2Asus2			B7B7
Around my hands, tied around my hands


Asus2Asus2			B7B7
And you close your eyes when I say I'm breaking free

Asus2Asus2			B7B7
And put your hands over both your ears

Asus2Asus2			B7B7
Because you cannot stand to believe I'm not

Asus2Asus2			B7B7
The perfect girl you thought Well what have I got to lose


E MajorE		B7B7
And what if I'm a weeping willow

C# minorC#m		A augmentedA
Laughing tears upon my pillow

E MajorE		B7B7
What if I'm a socialite

C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
who wants to be alone

E MajorE		B7B7
What if I'm a toothless leopard

C# minorC#m		A augmentedA
What if I'm a sheepless shepherd

E MajorE		B7B7
What if I'm an angel without

C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
wings to take me home

D MajorD - B7B7 - E MajorE

E MajorE - D#D#


C# minorC#m	 A augmentedA
You don't know me

E MajorE	B7B7
Never will, never will

C# minorC#m	 A augmentedA
I'm outside your picture frame

E MajorE	B7B7
And the glass is breaking now

C# minorC#m	 A augmentedA
You can't see me

E MajorE	B7B7		D MajorD
Never will, never will

D MajorD
If you're never gonna see


E MajorE		B7B7
What if I'm a crowded desert

C# minorC#m		A augmentedA
Too much pain with little pleasure

E MajorE		B7B7
What if I'm the nicest place

C# minorC#m		A augmentedA
you never want to go

E MajorE		B7B7
What if I don't know who I am

C# minorC#m		A augmentedA
Will that keep us both from trying

E MajorE		B7B7
To find out and when you have

C# minorC#m		A augmentedA
Be sure to let me know


E MajorE		B7B7
What if I'm a snowstorm burning

C# minorC#m		A augmentedA
What if I'm a world unturning

E MajorE		B7B7
What if I'm an ocean, far too

C# minorC#m		A augmentedA
shallow, much too deep

E MajorE		B7B7
What if I'm the kindest demon

C# minorC#m		A augmentedA
Something you may not believe in

E MajorE		B7B7
What if I'm a siren singing

C# minorC#m		A augmentedA  BB 	C# minorC#m
Gentlemen to sleep

A augmentedA BB C# minorC#m
Sleep...

A augmentedA BB C# minorC#m
Sleep...
