Switchfoot – If I Were You (Guitar)

      E      B
2020 enemies

              C       Am
What a dismal odyssey

             E      B
Held by only apathy

             C       Am
Is there any remedy?

                      E         B
'Cause we bicker over Listerine

                    C       Am
With Twitter as our liturgy

              E      B
What a crummy legacy

     C       Am
2020 enemies

          E   B
If I were you

          C     G
And you were me

                  A      G#m
Would we still be doomed

         G   F
To disagree?

                E    B
'Cause you'd be me

          C   G
If I were you

              A   G#m
And you never see

            G    F
My point of view

          E G#m A B
If I were you

           E G#m A B
If I were you, mm-mm

                E      B
Hey Romeo, it's Juliet

                    C        Am
Are you Montague or Capulet?

                    E        B               C  N.C.
Or some denigrating apathetic insult that we both forget?

                      E        B
'Cause fake is on the internet

                   C      Am
And fear is on the TV set

              E       B
Our rage is a habitat

             C          Am
For our 2020 novelettes

          E              B
If I were you (If I were you)

             C               G
And you were me (And you were me)

                  A                         G#m
Would we still be doomed (Would we still be doomed)

       G              F
To disagree? (To disagree?)

                E                   B
'Cause you'd be me ('Cause you'd be me)

          C              G
If I were you (If I were you)

              A                  G#m
And you never see (And you never see)

            G                 F
My point of view (My point of view)

          E G#m A B
If I were you

E                   C          G  E
Hey babe, we're the dinosaurs (Oh-oh)

E                            C            G  E
I get the feeling we've been here before (Oh-oh)

E                         C            G  E
Ain't it clear what we're aiming for? (Oh-oh)

E                   C
Hey babe, we're the dinosaurs

B                        E 
Yeah, but what if me and you

                   Bass:    E  D#
'Cause if you're stuck with me

                       C#  B
I guess I'm stuck with you

          A             G#                 F#             B
Could we rise above the scars that we both put each other through

          E                         B
If I were you (I think I'm ready to try us)

             C#m                      E
And you were me (I think I'm ready to try)

                  A                       E
Would we still be doomed (To put the past behind us)

        A                           B
To disagree? (Yeah, to put the past behind)

                E                       B
'Cause you'd be me ('Cause it's already behind us)

          C#m                            E
If I were you (Yeah, I'm sick of falling behind)

          A                         E
And all I see (I think I'm ready to try us)

                   A                              B
Is what you put me through (Maybe I'd be ready to try)

              E               B          C
If I were you if you were me, I would be you

    G                 A
And then we'd both be true

  G#m              G     F
I wonder what we'd do

E              B          C
If you were me, I would be you

      G               A
Would one plus one be two?

  G#m              G     F
I wonder what we'd do

          E
If I were you
