Ruth B - If By Chance

[intro] x2
Bb  Dm  Gm  Eb

[verse 1]
Bb         Dm                        Gm       Eb
I can't believe its been all these years
Bb         Dm                          Gm      Eb
I can't believe I've cried all these tears
      Bb                  Dm
My friends tell me I should've moved on
    Gm        Eb
a long long time ago
                  Bb         Dm
But what do they know?
         Gm         Eb
What do they know?

[chorus]
       Bb                Dm
And I don't mean to be selfish
        Gm                 Eb
But my heart breaks every time
                Bb  Dm  Gm  Eb
That I see you smile
           Bb             Dm
'Cause I know that it's not me
      Gm              Eb      Bb  Dm  Gm  Eb
Who brings it out of you anymore
                    Bb
You found somebody new
                   Dm
You put me in the past
              Gm                        Eb
I don't even know if our memories will last
            Bb Dm                   Gm           Eb
But if by chance it doesn't work out with her
                      Bb Dm              Gm       Eb
You'll always have a chance with me in my world

[verse 2]
Bb             Dm                     Gm       Eb
I wonder what happens when you hear our song
Bb                Dm                  Gm      Eb
Do you brush it away or do you sing along?
         Bb             Dm         Gm         Eb
Do you talk about the future the way we did?
                      Bb      Dm
Is there room for me in it?
                      Gm     Eb
Is there room for me in it?

[chorus]
       Bb               Dm
And I don't mean to be selfish
        Gm                 Eb
But my heart breaks every time
                Bb  Dm  Gm  Eb
That I see you smile
           Bb             Dm
'Cause I know that it's not me
      Gm              Eb      Bb  Dm  Gm  Eb
Who brings it out of you anymore
                    Bb
You found somebody new
                   Dm
You put me in the past
              Gm                        Eb
I don't even know if our memories will last
            Bb Dm                   Gm           Eb
But if by chance it doesn't work out with her
                      Bb Dm              Gm       Eb
You'll always have a chance with me in my world

[bridge]
Bb         Dm             Gm                   Eb
Is it so wrong of me to hope she breaks your heart?
Bb         Dm             Gm                  Eb
Is it so wrong of me to pray she tears you apart?
       Bb                D     D7       Gm      Eb
And I know that in the darkest part of you
     Bb                D        Gm    Eb
You pray and hope and wish for it too

[chorus-variation]
           Bb               Dm
cause you don't mean to be selfish
        Gm                 Eb
But your heart breaks every time
                Bb  Dm  Gm  Eb
That you see me smile
           Bb             Dm
'Cause you know that it's not you
      Gm              Eb      Bb  Dm  Gm  Eb
Who brings it out of me anymore
                    Bb
You found somebody new
                   Dm
You put me in the past
              Gm                        Eb
I don't even know if our memories will last
            Bb Dm                   Gm           Eb
But if by chance it doesn't work out with her
                      Bb Dm              Gm       Eb
You'll always have a chance with me in my world
