verse 1 
                   Bm 
What if we could talk

Like it never happened? 
               G 
Everything we lost 
                 A 
We could get it back and 
 
Pre-Chorus 
               Bm 
We could start from the top before we were hopeless 
Bm 
I'd be lying if I wasn't hoping 
G                                       Em 
We could lie 'cause it's been quite a while

            Bm          G 
Since I've seen your light

Since I've held you, my friend 
         Bm      G 
I don't feel alright

What if we could take 
Bm 
Everything we said back?

Take me to the day 
                   A 
The day before it went bad 
 
Pre-Chorus 
               Bm
