If you knew you would die today,

Refrain    Gm                                   F  [riff 1]   C
How bad, how good does it need to get?
   Gm                             F     [riff 1]   C
How many losses, how much regret?
   Gm                                      F  [riff 1]   C
What chain reaction would cause an effect?
   Gm                        C
Makes you turn around,   makes you try to explain,

Makes you forgive and forget,    makes you chaaaaaaaaaange?

       F                   C
If you knew that you would be alone,

Would you change?

Would you change?

       F                   C
If you knew that you would find a truth,

That brings up pain, that can’t be soothed,

Would you change?

Bridge    A                                  Dm

If it comes to blows    are you sure you won’t be crawling?
