Capo 4th fret
[Intro]
G Gmaj7 Cmaj7 G Gmaj7 Cmaj7
[Verse 1]
G
You always used to smile when you held your guitar
Cmaj7
But now it feels like a reminder that you ain't got too far
G
Strumming strings used to feel like breathing
Cmaj7
But now it takes your breath away
Cmaj7
Counting years, counting reasons
Em C Em
Why it won't work, but what if it does?
C D
What if tomorrow, all those closed doors open but
[Chorus]
G
If you give up, if you give in
Cmaj7
You should know that you're not the only one who's losing
G
What if there's a little girl who needs a song
Cmaj7 D
Telling her she's beautiful when the world tells her she's wrong?
Em
So before you say you're not good enough
D
That all your dreams are wishing dust
C D Em
You call it quits, walk away and say you're through
D G
What if it ain't about you?
[Verse 2]
G
Comparison can kill your faith
Cmaj7
Watching pеople win when you're just bеgging for a break
G
You're happy for 'em, you cheer 'em on
Cmaj7
But the whole time you're overthinking
D
Wondering what you're doing wrong
Em D C Em
Are you crazy for believing in
C D
Something everyone told you that you would never get?
[Chorus]
G
But if you give up, if you give in
Cmaj7
You should know that you're not the only one who's losing
G
What if there's a little girl who needs a song
Cmaj7 D
Telling her she's beautiful when the world tells her she's wrong?
Em
So before you say you're not good enough
D
That all your dreams are wishing dust
C D Em
You call it quits, walk away and say you're through
D G
What if it ain't about you?
[Bridge]
Em
If you throw it all away
Cmaj7
You're telling God He made a mistake
Cmaj7
But He never makes them
Cmaj7
Maybe you should have some patience
D
There's purpose in the wait
[Chorus]
G
'Cause if you give up, if you give in
Cmaj7
You should know that you're not the only one who's losing
G
What if there's a little girl who needs a song
Cmaj7 D
Telling her she's beautiful when the world tells her she's wrong?
Em
So before you say you're not good enough
D
That all your dreams are wishing dust
C D Em
You call it quits, walk away and say you're through
D G Gmaj7 Cmaj7
What if it ain't about you?
[Outro]
Cmaj7 G C
What if it ain't about you?
D G N.C. G
What if it ain't about you?
