   C#m                 E
I thought it wasn't wrong
    F#
to hide from you.
   A                  C#m
A simple truth I was scared
                  E
I'd felt it all along.
        F#                 A
But it hurt to much for me to share.

Chorus:
   C#m  E      A          B
If only I had been less blind,
    C#m      E           A   B
I'd have someone to hold onto.
   C#m  E         A          B
If only I could change your mind.
G#m             A   B               C#m
If only I had known, if only I had you.

Finally understand
Why things have happened
And how it all could go so wrong

Will this pain ever end
'Cause I don't think I can carry on

Chorus

              C#m E A B
If only I had you.
              C#m E A
If only I had you.

Chorus

If only I had been less blind
I'd have someone to hold on to
If only I could have spoke my mind
If only it were true
(We could start brand-new)
I know I'll make it through

If only I had you - x3
