(x2) [Verse 1]
D      G/B      D     Gm6/Bb
If you woke and I was gone

         Bm            G        D
From the house that we made our home

         D         G/B        D   Gm6/Bb    Bm
Would it bend you, break you, overtake your heart

        G      D
Like it did my own?
[Chorus 1]
       Bm      G         D
And if I were someplace else

       Bm      G         D
And if I were someplace else

       Bm      G         D                  Bm  G    D
And if I were someplace else, would this be easier?
[Interlude] D G/B D Gm6/Bb Bm G D x2 [Verse 2]
    D    G/B          D    Gm6/Bb
The only peace I have ever known

       Bm      G         D
Is the peace I made with you

D       G/B         D          Gm6/Bb
I won't move, but I can't stay here

            Bm           G         D
So what the hell am I supposed to do?
[Chorus 2]
       Bm      G       D
And if I were someone else

       Bm      G       D
And if I were someone else

       Bm      G       D                  Bm  G   D
And if I were someone else, would this be easier?

         Bm      G      D
I try to keep it in my head

            Bm         G      D
The need to leave this empty bed

       Bm   G     D
And be nobody instead

             Bm  G   D
Because it's easier
[Bridge]
Bm   G   D   Am         G   Gm  D
          I learned to lie

   Am         G   Gm   D
I learned to grow

   Am         G      A      Bm       D      G   Gm   D
I learned to hold it for a while and let it go

   Am         G   Gm   D
I learned to take

   Am         G   Gm   D
I learned to keep

        Am      G      A        Bm      D        G    Gm   D
Please tell me someday I'll at least be able to sleep

        Am      G      A        Bm      D        G    Gm   D
Please tell me someday I'll at least be able to sleep
[Chorus 3]
       Bm      G         D
And if I were someplace else

       Bm      G       D
And if I were someone else

       Bm      G     D                  Bm  G    D
And if I were not myself, would this be easier?

         Bm        G      D
I'm at a loss for better plans

               Bm   G      D
'Cause this is all that I have

             Bm        G        D
So I'll just close my eyes and try

      Bm  G  D
To pretend

             Bm  G   D
That it gets easier

             Bm  G   D
That it gets easier

             Bm  G   D
That it gets easier

             Bm  G   D
That it gets easier
[Outro] D
