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)
          G                 D         A
Do feel a certain sense of synergy between yourself and me
           G             D                    A
A kind of macabre somber wonder twin type of harmony
 
Chorus:
               D  Em  G
What if it was you?
A           D     Em   G
You that I needed all along
A             D   Em  G
I felt like a fool
A           D          Em     G      A        D
Kicking and screaming and pretending we were wrong
 
(Repeat Intro)
 
Verse:
D                                         A
Let's get wrecked on poptarts and sex and see the Taj Mahal
D                                              A
Let's save birds from Prince William Sound and skateboard through the mall
D                                              A
Let's fight crimes with mangoes and limes and join the PGA
D                                   A
Let's win big with every spin, but hurry I can't wait
 
Refrain 2: (single strum)
               G                D                  A
Do you spend a fortune on those late night prepaid television scams
                 G                 D                         A
In search of the perfect brand of steak knife and non-stick frying pan?
 
Chorus 2:
                D  Em  G
What if it was you?
A           D      Em   G
You that I needed all along
A             D  Em  G
I felt like a fool
A             D       Em      G
Thinking we were completely wrong
A                D
It seemed like a dream
             Em
A beautiful scream
             G           A            D
That echoed forever and made us not afraid to feel the same
 
And after it ends
               Em
We'll try to be friends
                   G              A                 D
And they say what doesn't kill us makes us who we are
 
Bridge:
D---F#m 2x
D                                          F#m
All this time and everything's changed, but I still feel the same
D                                   F#m
All good things eventually end and get washed down the drain
        G                 D            A
What a disaster it would be if you discovered that I cared
              G                    D               A
A little too much for friends, but not enough to share
 
Chorus 3:
               D  Em  G
What if it was you?
A            D     Em   G
You that I needed all along
A              D  Em  G
I felt like a fool
A           D        Em     G
Now that I know that I was wrong
A            D  Em  G
It had to be you
A            D  Em  G
It had to be you
A            D  Em  G
It had to be you
A          D   Em  G  A  D  F#m
I knew it was you

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

Do you feel a certain sense of synergy between yourself and me?
A kind of macabre and somber wondertwin type of harmony?

What if it was you? You that I needed all along?
I felt it like a fool
Kicking and screaming and pretending we were wrong

Let's get wrecked on pop-tarts and sex and see the Taj Mahal
Let's save birds from Prince William Sound and skateboard through the mall
Let's fight crime with mangos and limes and join the PGA
Let's win big with every spin, but hurry I can't wait

Do you spend a fortune on those late night pre-paid television scams?
In search of the perfect blender, steak knife, and non-stick frying pan?

What if it was you? You that I needed all along?
I felt it 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 a thing
And after it ends, we'll try to be friends
They say that what doesn't kill us makes us who we are

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

What if it was you? You that I needed all along?
I felt it like a fool
Now that I'm sure that I was wrong

It had to be you
It had to be you
It had to be you
I knew it was you
