F#m     A             Bm
What if there was no light 
E                      D
Nothing wrong, nothing right
F#m     A             Bm 
What if there was no time 
E                 D
And no reason or rhyme 
Bm7                   E
What if you should decide 
         F#m           D             E
That you don't want me there by your side 
         F#m           D             E      E7 
That you don't want me there in your life 



F#m     A        Bm
What if I got it wrong 
E              D
And no poem or song 
F#m       A                Bm
Could put right what I got wrong 
E                    D
Or make you feel I belong 
Bm7                   E
What if you should decide 
         F#m           D             E
That you don't want me there by your side 
         F#m           D             E     E7 
That you don't want me there in your life 



D            Bm
Oooh, that's right 
F#m                        E
Let's take a break, try to put it aside 
D            Bm
Oooh, that's right 
F#m                      E
I can't ignore it if you won't even try 
D            Bm
Oooh, that's right 



F#m   A             Bm 
Every step that you take
E                        D
Could be your biggest mistake 
F#m      A                Bm 
It could bend or it could break 
E                            D
But that's the risk that you take 
Bm7                   E
What if you should decide 
         F#m           D             E
That you don't want me there in your life 
         F#m           D             E
That you don't want me there by your side 



D            Bm
Oooh, that's right
F#m                      E
Let's take a breath jump over the side
D            Bm
Oooh, that's right 
F#m                        E
How can you know it if you don't even try 



Gmaj7        D      E   E7 
Oooh, that's right 
D            Bm
Oooh, that's right
F#m                      E
Let's take a breath jump over the side
D            Bm
Oooh, that's right
F#m                           E
You know that darkness always turns into light 
Gmaj7     D         E*  
Oooh, that's right
