[Intro] D Bm (D A) D [Verse 1]
D                   A     D
If your life was on video tape

         G                  D
Wouldn't everything be all right?

               G                D
When your head hurt the morning after

                          A         D
You could roll it back to late last night.

          G                 D
You could replay all of the good parts

                           Bm
And cut out what you don't like

G            D              Bm
Oh, wouldn't you be in good shape

        D           A     D
If your life was on video tape?
(D G) (D A D) D [Verse 2]
D                A  D
If everybody had ESP

G                    D
Everything would be OK

G                    D
We could see trouble coming

                  A          D
And we could step out of the way.

          G                     D
When that grim reaper comes to call

                              Bm
We could arrange to be out of town

G              D              Bm
Oh, that would be the great escape

              D         A     (D A)
And you could put it on video tape.
D Bm (D A D) D [Bridge]
D                  A     D
Now I don't have a video recorder

      G                    D
And I don't have a crystal ball

G                    D
When I'm not with my baby

                        A       D
Lord, I don't have very much at all.

G                   D
I can't predict the future

                              Bm
Babe, I sure can't change the past

G     D                     Bm
But I know it will all make sense

       D              A       D
If you love me in the present tense.
[Verse 3]
A       D           A     D
If your life was on video tape

         G                 D
Wouldn't everything be all right?

          G                     D
When your head hurt the morning after

                          A         D
You could roll it back to late last night.

          G                 D
You could replay all of the good parts

                           Bm
And cut out what you don't like

G            D               Bm
Oh, wouldn't you be in great shape

        D           A     D
If your life was on video tape?

A       D           A     D
If your life was on video tape

         G                 D
Wouldn't everything be all right?

          G                     D
When your head hurt the morning after

                          A         D
You could roll it back to late last night.
