intro:
Cadd9 Cadd9 C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Cadd9 Cadd9 C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Hook 1:
C C Cadd9 Cadd9
If I could turn back time
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 C C
Maybe I could make you mine
Cadd9 Cadd9 C C
How could I have been so blind?
Cmaj7 C7 C C
Maybe I could make you mine
If I could turn back time
Verse 1:
Cadd9 Cadd9
Maybe I could say hi
C C
Maybe I'd feel relieved
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Maybe that would give me closure
C C
Maybe that's too naïve
Cadd9 Cadd9
Or maybe I could walk by
C C
Wear my heart on my sleeve
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
And maybe we would lock eyes
C C
And it'd be hard to believe
C C
But maybe we would both laugh
Cadd9 Cadd9
And I could ask how she was
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
And wonder if she thinks about
C C
The times we used to be us
Cadd9 Cadd9
And maybe I could ask why
C C
Or maybe I would say please
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
But maybe she's with a guy
C C
And maybe I should just leave
Cadd9 Cadd9
Or maybe I could stop time
C C
Cause the world to just freeze
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Make corners of this room dissolve
C C
With every breath that I breathe
Cadd9 Cadd9
Until it's just me and her
C C
And we would fall from our feet
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
And flitter down into the pitch-black
C C
With no floor underneath
C C
And we could fall through December
Cadd9 Cadd9
And maybe shatter through June
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
And we could crash land in April
C C
And wake up back in our room
Cadd9 Cadd9
And she'd be there in my arms
C C
Right before she was gone
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
And while I lay there, I'd retrace to myself
C C
Where I went wrong
Hook 2:
Cadd9 Cadd9 C C
If I could turn back time
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 C C
Maybe I could make you mine
Cadd9 Cadd9 C C
How could I have been so blind?
Cmaj7 C7 C C
Maybe I could make you mine
C C Cadd9 Cadd9
If I could hit rewind
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 C C
Maybe I could make you mine
Cadd9 Cadd9 C C
Maybe things would turn out fine
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 C C
Maybe I could make you mine
Verse 2:
Cadd9 Cadd9
Maybe she's just as bored
C C
What if she's as depressed?
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Maybe I should drink more
C C
Maybe I should think less
Cadd9 Cadd9
How did things end so badly?
C C
How did things even end?
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
I don't remember exactly, don't ask me
C C
On our way back from Atlanta
C C
We were holed up in a taxi
Cadd9 Cadd9
She was asleep in the backseat
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
I was just drinking a smoothie
C C
Jamba Juice, mango and flaxseed
Cadd9 Cadd9
She woke up groggy and tapped me
C C
Headphones in, bumping to Max B
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Looked at her, paused it on track three
C C
She sighed and looked at me angry
Cadd9 Cadd9
I asked her, "What?"
C C
And she snapped back, "Nothing, it's fine"
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
I said, "No, what's on your mind?"
C C
She snapped back, "Nothing, it's fine!"
Cadd9 Cadd9
I said, "Well fuck it! I'm trying!"
C C
She sniffled, "Fuck you!" while crying
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Still have no fucking idea
C C
The what, or the who, or the why
C C
But we just stopped talking
Cadd9 Cadd9
And that was the end
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
No text or call or coffee
C C
No "Let's just be friends"
Cadd9 Cadd9
We sat there silently through
C C
North Carolina and West Virginia
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
And hours and hours passed
C C
And the anxious quiet continued
outro:
Cadd9 Cadd9
'Til I fell asleep
C C
And woke up to the driver alone
Cmaj7 C7
He told me he drove past her neighbourhood
C C
And dropped her off home
Cadd9 Cadd9
And that was it, and now we're here
C C
Two dozen feet from each other
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
It feels like years since I've seen her
C C
Two washed-up used-to-be-lovers
C C
We used to kiss under covers
Cadd9
And wrestle in blankets
Cadd9
And nestle each other
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 C C
But I don't think I've got the courage to muster
Cadd9 Cadd9
Maybe I could say hi
C C
Maybe I'd feel relieved
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Maybe that would give me closure
C C
Maybe that's too naïve
Cadd9 Cadd9
(If I could turn back time)
Or maybe I could walk by
C C
Wear my heart on my sleeve
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
(Maybe I could make you mine)
And maybe we would lock eyes
C C
And it'd be hard to believe
Cadd9 Cadd9
(How could I have been so blind?)
But maybe we would both laugh
C C
And I could ask how she was
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
(Maybe I could make you mine)
And wonder if she thinks about
C C
The times we used to be us
C C
(If I could hit rewind)
And maybe I could ask why
Cadd9 Cadd9
Or maybe I would say please
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
(Maybe I could make you mine)
But maybe she's with a guy
C C
And maybe I should just leave
Cadd9 Cadd9
Or maybe I could stop time
C C
Cause the world to just freeze
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
(Maybe I could make you mine)
Make corners of this room dissolve
C C
With every breath that I breathe
Until it's just me and her
