Capo: 3rd fret

[Verse 1]
F             Dm               C
I could have been somebody else but
Bb                       F
I've been out looking for me
           Dm                        C
It doesn't matter what I tell myself
      Bb                     F
For a moment there I swear I saw me
 
 
[Verse 2]
           Dm                 C
I went to meet to somebody new
   Bb                           F
Changed beneath the evening light
     Dm                            C
And she held me kind of like you do
Bb
I hope you know
 
 
[Chorus]
F            Dm               C
I could have been somebody who
           Bb                   F
You wanted to have around to hold
              Dm                    Bb
I should have jumped when you told me to
F       Dm                         C
I wanna change but it's nothing new
         Bb                       F
And if I grow I'm gonna get so old
         Dm                      Bb
Will you hold me like you always do?
 
 
[Verse 3]
F           Dm           C
I used to be somebody else
     Bb                         F
And, I'm still out looking for me
     Dm                        C
I go out and try to chase myself
Bb                              F
Find someone that might restore me
 
 
[Verse 4]
             Dm               C
I could have been somebody new
        Bb                     F
And I'm talking to myself again
       Dm                          C
But I don't know who I'm talking to
Bb
I think it's you
 
 
[Chorus]
F             Dm               C
I could have been somebody who
           Bb                   F
You wanted to have around to hold
              Dm                    Bb
I should have jumped when you told me to
F       Dm                         C
I wanna change but it's nothing new
         Bb                       F
And if I grow I'm gonna get so old
         Dm                      Bb
Will you hold me like you always do?
 
 
[Instrumental]
F Dm C Bb
 
 
[Chorus]
F             Dm               C
I could have been somebody who
           Bb                   F
You wanted to have around to hold
              Dm                    Bb
I should have jumped when you told me to
F       Dm                         C
I wanna change but it's nothing new
         Bb                       F
And if I grow I'm gonna get so old
         Dm                      Bb
Will you hold me like you always do?
              I could have been somebody else
But I've been out looking for me
It doesn't matter what I tell myself
For a moment there I swear I saw me
I went to meet to somebody new
Changed beneath the evening light
And she held me kind of like you do
I hope you know

I could have been somebody who
You wanted to have around to hold
I should have jumped when you told me to
I wanna change but it's nothing new
And if I grow, I'm gonna get so old
Will you hold me like you always do?

I used to be somebody else 
And I'm still out looking for me
I go out and try to chase myself
Find someone that might restore me
I could have been somebody new
And I'm talking to myself again
But I don't know who I'm talking to
I think it's you

I could have been somebody who
You wanted to have around to hold
I should have jumped when you told me to
I wanna change but it's nothing new
And if I grow, I'm gonna get so old
Will you hold me like you always do?

I could have been somebody who
You wanted to have around to hold
I should have jumped when you told me to
I wanna change but it's nothing new
And if I grow, I'm gonna get so old
Will you hold me like you always do?
