[Intro] Am C [Verse 1]
Am                   D
I still remember my name

Am       C
But forgotten my royal mistakes
N.C. If only
Am                      D
I could go back in time

Am      D           C
   When you were a friend of mine
N.C. If only
F        
We were just a little less tired and true

C                                    D
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
(If only, if only)
[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]
Am
If only I could trust you'd

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

    G                                               Em
If only I could wish your kiss was not a falling star
N.C. (If only, if only)
     Am                                                 Em
If only I was yours, the shoulder that you'd wanna to cry on
N.C. (If only, if only)
G                                                       F
If only you could pull me safely through these prison bars
N.C. (If only)
           F
Ehh 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

     G                                              F
If only I could wish your kiss was not a falling star

             Am                          Em
If only, If only I was your shoulder to cry on

     G                                                F
If only you could pull me safely through these prison bars

             Am
Ehh if only
[Outro]
        C     Am  F
If only, if only    If only
