🎸 Verse 1:
D
If I had it my way
F#m Bm G
I'd be losin' feeling in my left arm right now
D F#m
Try like hell not to wake you up
Bm
While you're laying on me
G
On the living room couch
D F#m
Have a John Wayne western on
Bm G
That we weren't watching anyway
D F#m Bm G
Girl I swear I would stay right there for days
D F#m Bm G
If I had it my way
🎸 Chorus:
A
Call me up and say I need you now
G D
And I can't go another day
A
Say you're all I ever think about
G D
Now I'd give anything to see your face
Bm A
You'd say I miss you
G Em
I'd say I don't know how much more I can take

You'd say I'm on my way

G D F#m
If I had it my way, I’d be watching your eyes
Bm G
Turn from brown to hazel right now
D F#m
Like it did on the back porch swing
Bm
When the sky turned red
G
Watching the sun go down
D F#m
Be a field full of fireflies
Bm G
Watching this lost time making up
D F#m Bm
You’d be in my arms, we’d still be in love
G D F#m Bm
If I had it my way
G D F#m Bm G
If I had it my way
🎸 Chorus:
D
If I had it my way
F#m Bm G
I’d blink to disappear somewhere somehow
D F#m Bm
Have a little bit of red wine poured into coffee
G
Cause watching those stars for miles
D F#m
We’d have an Al Green record on
Bm G
Dance a little by the fire place
D F#m Bm G
We’d make our love then we just lay
D F#m Bm
If I had it my way
G D F#m Bm
If I had it my way
