Em  C (2x)


Verse 1:
          Em
There's a time when the heart can no longer give in
                D
You'll try to stand up and fight
              C
You've known pain for so long and you know what's gone wrong
         D
But you can't make it right
Em
Another broken heart is all your feeling
     D
How can you go on
             C                       Am
But the memories of times there was love in your eyes
      B7
Keep leading me on

Chorus:
            C
If it were you
           D           G            C
Would you hold on and hope that it might
                 D              Em
Bring back the dreams we once knew
         C         D          G            C
Or just give up forever that part of your life
C
Tell me what you would do
            Em  G
If it were you


Verse 2:
         Em
You can never take back all you've given in love
           D
No matter how hard you try
          C
Once it's over and done you just have to let go
          D
Though a part of you died
Em
Another waste of time is all that's left now
     D
But life must go on
         C                            Am
All the nights that we spent, never thought they would end
     B7
Why can't they go on


Chorus:
            C
If it were you
           D           G            C
Would you hold on and hope that it might
                 D              Em
Bring back the dreams we once knew
         C         D          G            C
Or just give up forever that part of your life
C
Tell me what you would do
            Em
If it were you
D           Em
If it were you
Em
Tell me what would you do
       D    Em
If it were you


Bridge:
C                D
Over and over I go back through time
Em                     D
Didn't we promise our love until we die
G                      Am
Asking you deep down inside
               A#m
Did we really try

Another broken heart is all that is left
     Am
But life must go on

All the nights that we spent, never thought they would end
     B7
Why can't they go on


Chorus:
