We were just a little less tired and true

You were being you, and I was being too human
F
But who was I fooling
Am
Ohh if only
[Chorus]
N.C.
If only I could trust you'd
Em
Rest your head and turn the light on
G Em
If only I could wish your kiss was not a falling star
Am Em
If only I was yours, the shoulder that you'd wanna to cry on
G F
If only you could pull me safely through these prison bars
Am
Ehh if only
N.C.
(If only, if only)
C

[Verse 2]
Am
I took your crown of thorns
G C
Laid down to be reborn
N.C
If only
Am
I wasn't flesh and bone
G
I could rise up from being stoned
N.C
If only
F
You could see through someone like me
D
Tryna be free, maybe just a little less lonely
F
Ohh I was so lonely
D G
If only
[Chorus]

Rest your head and turn the light on (If only, if only)

Am
[Bridge]
N.C
It's out with the old, I'll be new
F Am D
And don't worry about the drink and drugs, I am through
Am
If only I believed that was true
F
We'd be living all the dreams in a house with a view
If only, if only you knew how the voices of demons could drown out the truth
Em
Now my one place of freedom is sleeping with you
C Am
If only, if only you knew
[Chorus]
G Am
If only I could trust you'd
Em
Rest your head and turn the light on
