G#m                         F#
On the subject of you being gone forever
                G#m
I still can't believe it, I can't see it
          B
I should just stop counting days
G#m
On the subject of the future
F#                              G#m
Wouldn't it be nice to leave it open-ended
                B
And pretend it could go either way

Chorus:
           F#              B
If I could have you back again
           D#m               C#
I'd think about it once or twice, I guess
F#                   B
If I could have you back
         D#m          C#
I'd reconsider, maybe I'd say yes
C#            B
On the other hand it would be
 E F#   E  F#  E F#
Better to have a life
             C#         B
Without the constant indecision over

E  F#       E F# E   F# C# E
If I could have you back
E  F#       E F# E   F#
If I could have you back

On the topic of the time we spent together
I can't say I never wonder
If you ever think about those days

Chorus:
If I could have you back again
I'd think about it once or twice, I guess
If I could have you back
I'd reconsider, maybe I'd say yes
On the other hand, it would be better to have a life
Without the constant indecision over
If I could have you back

     B9
It's game over You lost this round
    F#
And now I guessed I've turned you down
B9
Thanks for all the lessons learned
    F#
I'm taking in what I have heard
(Practice makes perfect)

Chorus:
If I could have you back again
I'd think about it once or twice, I guess
If I could have you back
I'd reconsider, maybe I'd say yes
On the other hand, it would be better to have a life
Without the constant indecision
If I could have you back again
I'd think about it once or twice, I guess
If I could have you back
I'd reconsider, maybe I'd say yes
On the other hand, it would be better to have a life
Without the constant indecision over
If I could have you back
If I could have you back
