G                 F#m             Em
The first time we met, I swore, I hated you
D            C         Bm  Am
When all you had to do was walk into the room
    G                  F#m             Em
You got everyone's at- tention just by bein' you
D           C               Bm         Am
Something I could never do, but always wanted to
Bm       C              Bm                Am                      Bm
You were beautiful, you had it all, never bought yourself a drink
    C                 Bm              D
And sittin there just watchin' you, I couldn't help but think

Chorus:
              G                  Am           C           D
If I could be you, I'd take your place for an hour, for a day
G         Am             D
I do any- thing I wanted to
           Em                Am        D                G
If I could have your perfect life in a second I'd trade mine
        Am              Em               C      D
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do, if I could be you

Verse:
      G             F#m                     Em
After too much wine standin' in line in the ladies room
D                            C              Bm                Am
We started talkin' 'bout the things men do, yeah we'd been in each other's shoes
G                  F#m                    Em
Now it's ten years later and we've shared everything
D      C                 Bm                     Am
Tears, clothes & dreams, I helped you pick your wedding ring
      C              Bm                 Am                Bm
I re- -member when I held your hand the day the baby came
         C                      Bm                D
How that whole first year you'd call in tears, so worn out you would say

Chorus:
              G                  Am           C          D
If I could be you, I'd take your place for an hour for a day
    G              Am                 D
I'd do the kind of things that I used to
       Em                  Am          D                  G
What I wouldn't give some- times for a second that's just mine
   Am                     Bm                 C      D              G
On days like this there's nothing I wouldn't do, if I could be you

Bridge:
     F                                    E
Well time flies by and how things change, and sittin' in this room today
        D                             G
There's not much either one of us can say
    F                               E
The doctors have done all they can, I'm holdin' your hand again
D
Wishin?f I could take it all away

Chorus:
              G                  Am           C          D
If I could be you, I'd take your place for an hour for a day
    G               Am                D
I'd gladly bear the pain you're goin' through
            Em                Am        D                G
To give you back your perfect life in a second I'd trade mine
        Am             Bm               C
There's nothin in this world I wouldn't do
Bm            Am              Bm               C   D
Girl, there's nothing in this world I wouldn't do, if I could be you
