Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Verse
I get lost, messed up, and bored when I'm alone too long
I can't sleep, function, or eat when I'm not with someone
Late last fall she ended it all and moved to who knows where
Just like that she vanished and packed and never even called
Refrain 1
(power chords)
Do feel a certain sense of synergy between yourself and me
A kind of macabre somber wonder twin type of harmony
Chorus
What if it was you?
You that I needed all along
I felt like a fool
Kicking and screaming and pretending we were wrong
(Repeat Intro)
Verse
Let's get wrecked on poptarts and sex and see the Taj Mahal
Let's save birds from Prince William Sound and skateboard through the mall
Let's fight crimes with mangoes and limes and join the PGA
Let's win big with every spin, but hurry I can't wait
Refrain 2
(single strum)
Do you spend a fortune on those late night prepaid television scams
In search of the perfect brand of steak knife and non-stick frying pan?
Chorus 2
What if it was you?
You that I needed all along
I felt like a fool
Thinking we were completely wrong
It seemed like a dream
A beautiful scream
That echoed forever and made us not afraid to feel the same
And after it ends
We'll try to be friends
And they say what doesn't kill us makes us who we are
Bridge
--- 2x
All this time and everything's changed, but I still feel the same
All good things eventually end and get washed down the drain
What a disaster it would be if you discovered that I cared
A little too much for friends, but not enough to share
Chorus 3
What if it was you?
You that I needed all along
I felt like a fool
Now that I know that I was wrong
It had to be you
It had to be you
It had to be you
I knew it was you
