[Verse 1]
    C               F      C
I know that I have made mistakes

                C           F      C
Like when I introduced you as a friend

        C             F       C
And I pray to God it's not too late

          C           F      C
As I'm dreaming wide awake again

          C           F          C
Yeah, we got so close I couldn't see

    C               F         C
Laughing while we painted my room, yeah

     C              F       C
And all along the joke's on me

             C             F     C
Now you're happier with someone new
[Chorus]
  F        G
What if I told you a story

 C            G
All about someone who loves you

     F                       G               Am
And what if I told you he's sorry he made you wait

      F        G                             E               Am
And what if I told you he's dying 'cause he can't change history

      F             G                   C
And what if I told you that someone was me
[Verse 2]
        C        F               C
When I call you late, I know he's there

          C                 F        C
But you still pick up and leave the bed

  C               F        C
You speak low so he can't hear

          C                      F       C
And it gives me hope there's something left
[Chorus]
 F        G
What if I told you a story

 C          G
All about someone who loves you

      F        G                             Am
And what if I told you he's sorry he made you wait

     F          G                             E              Am
And what if I told you he's dying 'cause he can't change history

      F         G                       C
And what if I told you that someone was me
[Verse 3]
        F
And when you ask me who I'm seeing now

                 G
I wanna say it's you I'm thinking about

                  Am
I'm tryna find the words somehow

                  Am
To say the things that I never said

        F                           G
I'd do whatever it takes, I need to know what'd you say

               Am                         Am
Cause you've got a hold on me, yeah, you got a hold of me
[Chorus]
 F          G
What if I told you a story

  C            G
All about someone who loves you

      F        G                               Am
And what if I told you he's sorry he made you wait

      F        G                             E             Am
And what if I told you he's dying 'cause he can't change history

      F         G                     C
And what if I told you that someone was me
[Verse 4]
  F            G
I'm ready to tell you a story

  C      G
I am somebody who loves you

  F                      G      Am
I wanna tell you I'm sorry

     F             G
And darling just listen don't worry

               E       Am
We could go down in history

 F             G                    C
Why don't you let your somebody be me?
