EmGDEm
What do you do when they turn on the light?
EmGDG
You guard your heart, so they steal your sight
GDEmD
You reach out in blindness, touch the alone
EmGDEmE
His icicle fingers chill you to the bone
AmCGAm
What do you do when the cat gets ya tongue?
AmCGC
No way to tell it's all going wrong
CGAmG
Mouth out the words on the telephone
AmCGAm
Nobody answers, nobody's home…
[Chorus]
DAC#mB
What's done has been done, and I won't be the one
DAB
Who despairs in the wheelchair, resigned to "If only"
DA
No, I'll stand up again and I'll run
C#mEB
I'll jump up till I touch the sun
DA
Because I won't be the one to be bound
B
By the sound of "If only, if only, if only"
[Verse 2]
EmGDEm
Well, I reach out in blindness now, but what do I care?
EmGDG
I'll walk into walls and I'll stumble downstairs
GDEmD
I'll laugh like a fishwife, I'll cry like a clown
EmGDEmE
Up is the only way to go when you're down
[Verse 3]
AmCGAm
When I reach a mountain top, then I start to climb
AmCGC
I'll walk on the water, I'll turn water to wine
CGAmG
Hope is the one thing we got on our side
AmCGAm
Hope can be salvaged when all else has died
[Chorus]
DAC#mB
What's done has been done, and I won't be the one
DAB
Who despairs in the wheelchair, resigned to "If only"
DA
No, I'll stand up again and I'll run
C#mEB
I'll jump up till I touch the sun
DA
Because I won't be the one to be bound
B
By the sound of "If only, if only, if only"
