(Capo on 4)

Intro.:  |(G)(Am)|(C)(D) ---

(G) The first time we (F#m)met, I swore, I (Em)hated you
(D) When all you (C)had to do (Bm) was (Am)walk into the room
You (G)got everyone's at-(F#m)tention just by (Em) bein' you
(D) Something I (C)could never do, (Bm) but always (Am)wanted to
(Bm) You were (C)beautiful, you (Bm)had it all, never (Am)bought yourself a drink (Bm)
And (C)sittin there just (Bm)watchin' you, I (D)couldn't help but think

(Chorus)
If I could be (G)you, I'd take your (Am)place for an (C)hour, for a (D)day
(G)I do any-(Am)thing I wanted (D)to
If I could (Em)have your perfect (Am)life in a (D)second I'd trade (G)mine
There's (Am)nothing in this (Em)world I wouldn't (C)do, if (D)I could be you

Inst.:  |(G)(Am)|(C)(D)

After (G)too much wine (F#m)standin' in line in the (Em)ladies room
(D) We started talkin' 'bout the (C)things men do, (Bm) yeah we'd been in (Am)each other's shoes
(G) Now it's ten years (F#m)later and we've shared (Em) everything
(D) Tears, (C)clothes & dreams, (Bm) I helped you pick your (Am)wedding ring
I re-(C)-member when I (Bm)held your hand the (Am)day the baby came (Bm)
How that (C) whole first year you'd (Bm)call in tears, so (D)worn out you would say

(Chorus)
If I could be (G)you, I'd take your (Am)place for an (C)hour for a (D)day
I'd (G)do the kind of (Am)things that I used (D)to
What I (Em)wouldn't give some-(Am)times for a (D)second that's just (G)mine
On (Am)days like this there's (Bm)nothing I wouldn't (C)do, if (D)I could be you (G)

Well (F)time flies by and how things change, (E) and sittin' in this room today
There's (D)not much either one of us can (G)say
The (F)doctors have done all they can, (E) I'm holdin' your hand again
(D)Wishinf I could take it all away

If I could be (G)you, I'd take your (Am)place for an (C)hour for a (D)day
I'd (G)gladly bear the (Am)pain you're goin' (D)through
To give you (Em)back your perfect (Am)life in a (D)second I'd trade (G)mine
There's (Am)nothin in this (Bm)world I wouldn't (C)do
(Bm) Girl, there's (Am)nothing in this (Bm)world I wouldn't (C) do, (D) if I could be you

Outro.:  |(G)(Am)|(C)(D)|(G)(Am)|(C)(D)|(G) -----
