A           C#m       A              C#m
You seem to find the dark, when everything is bright
A            C#m                   C
You look for all that's wrong, instead of all
        G
that's right
A            C#m         A           C#m
Does it feel good to you, to rain on my parade
A          C#m           C               G
You never say a word, unless it's to complain
       C           G  D
It's driving me insane

Chorus:
           A
If I were you
             C          G      D
Holding the world right in my hands
D                    A
The first thing I'd do
               C       G          D
Is thank the stars for all that I am
           A
If I were you

Look what surrounds you now
More than you ever dreamed
Have you forgotten just how hard it used to be?
So what's it going to take for you to realize?
It all could go away in one blink of an eye
It happens all the time

Chorus:
If I were you
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thank the stars above
Tell the ones I love that I do

                F
Yeah if I were you
   G                  A C#m A
Whoa, yeah if I were you
C#m        F
If I were you
     G           A C#m A C#m A C#m A C#m
Whoa, If I were you

So what's it going to take for you to realize?
It all could go away in one blink of an eye
It happens all the time

Chorus:
           A
If I were you
             C          G      D
Holding the world right in my hands
D                    A
The first thing I'd do
               C       G
Is thank the stars above
         C       G
For the words I love
        G#        A#          C
Take a breath and enjoy the view
         G#        A#       C
Live the life that I wanna do
          G#
If I were you
          A#
If I were you
           C
If I were you
