Dm F
F C

🎸 Verse:

Dm F          F  C
   It's a calculation I made a mistake on
Dm F             F  C
   I never should have said it like I said
Dm F               F  C
    It will come to me later like a space invader
Dm F               F  C
  And I won't be able to get it out of my head

🎸 Chorus:

Am        C         F
  What if I'd never written the letter
          G             Am
I slipped into the sleeve of the record I gave you?
       C            F
What if I stayed on the C train until Lafayette?
   G
What if we never met?
Dm            Am
What if I'd only just done what you told me
 F         G
And never looked back?
 Dm           Am
What if I'd only ducked away down the hallway
F        G
And faded to black?

🎸 Verse:

Dm F          F    C
 It was too romantic, it was sad and frantic
Dm F           F  C
    A paperback book in a storm drain
Dm F             F  C
   It could go number one, if I copied a new one
Dm F         F  C
   From a melody that I wish I had

🎸 Chorus:

Am        C         F
  What if I'd never written the letter
          G             Am
I slipped into the sleeve of the record I gave you?
       C            F
What if I stayed on the C train until Lafayette?
   G
What if we never met?
Dm            Am
What if I'd only just done what you told me
 F         G
And never looked back?
 Dm           Am
What if I'd only ducked away down the hallway
F        G
And faded to black?

Am        C         F
  What if I'd never written the letter
          G             Am
I slipped into the sleeve of the record I gave you?
       C            F
What if I stayed on the C train until Lafayette?
   G
What if we never met?
Dm            Am
What if I'd only just done what you told me
 F         G
And never looked back?
 Dm           Am
What if I'd only ducked away down the hallway
F        G
And faded to black?

🎸 Verse:

Dm F        F  C

It will come to me later, like a space invader
Dm F             F   C
  And I won't be able to get it out of my head
