If Only chords by Maria Taylor

Chords with lyrics

Some chord shapes that work for the intro/verse chords:

A/D:   x576xx  xx0220
A/E:   x776xx  xx2220
Amaj7/E: x766xx  xx2120

The rest of the chords are pretty straightforward.

Strum/Picking pattern during the intro: She adds or removes the * note occasionally. Amaj7/EAmaj7/E is played on the
upbeats. I added the E MajorE bass note on the downbeat which I find helps keep my time.

Intro:

Verse:
  A/EA/E A/D    A/EA/E    Amaj7/EAmaj7/E
If only you could know
          A/EA/E   A/D  A/EA/E  Amaj7/EAmaj7/E
Silhouettes on your shadows
    A/EA/E A/D  A/EA/E   Amaj7/EAmaj7/E
Will it all be the same?
          A/EA/E   A/D  A/EA/E  Amaj7/EAmaj7/E
I go back where we started
     A/EA/E   A/D   A/EA/E  Amaj7/EAmaj7/E
Where we gave it all too soon
           A/EA/E     A/D  A/EA/E  Amaj7/EAmaj7/E
But you know it comes back to you

Chorus:
      A augmentedA
So take me down
A augmentedA                A/D
'Cause I see you when I close my eyes
    E MajorE           F# minorF#m
Turn a corner, take me by surprise
         E MajorE         F# minorF#m
And what doesn't work on this first try
   E MajorE            A augmentedA
Maybe better in the next life
A augmentedA                 A/D
And we'll laugh until the sun will rise
    E MajorE            F# minorF#m
Try to talk but only get tongue-tied
   E MajorE            F# minorF#m
So I live until the living's done
   E MajorE              A augmentedA
Got a feeling there's another one

Break:
Play intro pattern or strum.

Is covered this world for you

And if all I've ever done
        A/EA/E A/D  A/EA/E  Amaj7/EAmaj7/E
Hang on for the long run
  A/EA/E    A/D  A/EA/E  Amaj7/EAmaj7/E
