   C majorC                FF         C majorC
Well if I was a fountain, would your wishes bring good luck?
                 G+G
And if I was a jacket, would you always hang me up?
  C majorC               FF        C majorC
But if I was a jukebox, would you play me all the time?
  FF      C majorC         G+G      C majorC
And if I sold my guilty soul, would you pay any mind?

  C majorC             FF         C majorC
Yea if I had direction, I'd be sure to steer your right
                    G+G
And if I was a freight train, would you ride me every night?
  C majorC              FF        C majorC
But if I was a season, would you catch me when I fall?
   FF      C majorC         G+G        C majorC
And if I gave you everything, would you just take it all?

Chorus:
      FF    C majorC
And if the answer's yes
    G+G     DmDm     FF
To the questions I already know
        G+G        C majorC
There would be nothing left to prove
     FF    C majorC
I wish I had the time
      G+G      DmDm      FF
But you're fine with my faith on the line
      C majorC
No need to know the truth
  G+G
It might just break your heart in two

And I've done sniffed up all my glue

The lone conclusion that I drew:
         C majorC   G+G   C majorC
I guess I'm only human after all

C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC G+G

Verse:
  C majorC              FF       C majorC
Yea if I was a smile, would you turn me upside down?
                  G+G
And if I was a whirlwind, would I spin your world around?
  C majorC              FF       C majorC
But if I was a hotel room, would you be here to stay?
  FF       C majorC          G+G       C majorC
And if I went and stood you up, would you just walk away?

  C majorC              FF      C majorC
Yea if I was a riddle, would you see me as a joke?
                 G+G
And if I was a pocket, would you come and take me broke?
   C majorC              FF       C majorC
But if I was a junkie, would you try and get me fixed?
   FF     C majorC        G+G      C majorC
And if I was a cigarette, would you decide to quit?

Chorus:
      FF   C majorC
But if I'm never there
   G+G        DmDm       FF
Don't despair, cause I don't really care
      G+G        C majorC
As long as I'm not getting caught
      FF     C majorC    G+G       DmDm     FF
I'll just escape the pain of disdain, let me level my brain
      C majorC           G+G
From your forget-me-nots, they tell you: "give it all you've got"

So watch me take another shot, you're bound to make my stomach rot;
         C majorC   G+G  C majorC
Forgot I'm only human after all

C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC G+G

 C majorC               FF       C majorC
If I was expensive, would your wallet set me free?
                 G+G
And if I was a letter, would you ever let me be?
  C majorC                FF       C majorC
But if I was a stop sign, would you still be on the go?
  FF      C majorC          G+G       C majorC
And if I was a road map, would you let me take you home?

     FF    C majorC      G+G       DmDm     FF
But if I sing my song, is it wrong if you dont sing along
      G+G        C majorC
But still support me in the end?
        FF    C majorC      G+G
Cause like the setting sun it's been fun
     DmDm     FF
But it's over and done
      C majorC
I'm moving on my friend
  G+G
Untill the day we meet again

I'll wallow in my medicine

And know that I'll feel better when
              C majorC   C majorC   G+G
You realise that I'm only human after all
