         F                  C
If you knew that you would die today
       Dm              A#
If you saw the face of God and Love
            F    C
Would you change?
           Dm    A#
Would you change?
         F                  C
If you knew that love can break your heart
             Dm              A#
When you're down so low you cannot fall
            F    C
Would you change?
           Dm    A#
Would you change?

Gm                                F   C
How bad how good does it need to get?
Gm                        F     C
How many losses how much regret?
Gm                                 F     C
What chain reaction would cause an effect?
Gm                   C
Makes you turn around makes you try to explain
A#
Makes you forgive and forget
G              Dm A#
Makes you change
            F   C
Makes you change

Chorus:
If you knew that you would be alone
Knowing right, being wrong
Would you change?
Would you change?
If you knew that you would find a truth
That brings a pain that can't be soothed
Would you change?
Would you change?

How bad, how good does it need to get
How many losses, how much regret
What chain reaction, what cause and effect
Makes you turn around?
Makes you try to explain?
Makes you forgive and forget?
Makes you change?
Makes you change?

A                                Dm
Are you so upright you can't be bent
       G
if it comes to blows?
A                             Dm
Are you so sure you won't be crawling?
    C                        A#
If not for the good why risk falling
     C
Why risk falling

If everything you think you know
Makes your life unbearable
Would you change?
Would you change?
If you'd broken every rule and vow
And hard times come to bring you down
Would you change?
Would you change?

Chorus:
If you knew that you would die today
If you saw the face of God and love
Would you change?
Would you change?
Would you change?
Would you change?
If you saw the face of God and love?
If you saw the face of God and love?
Would you change?
