"If All Should Fail" lyrics & chords

I said I’m gonna spend my time alone

Bm                                                             D

Cause it ain’t worth trying to find that lover’s soul

                                             G                                     D                 F#m7

I said it’s better searching in myself 

Bm                                                        D

Cause I couldn’t give away my love, 

                                               G 

Or spend my time with anybody else

                                                     b♭6

But oh, sometimes I believe I can make the change,

                              A                                       A7

Oh Lord, are you feeling the same way

F#                                  F#7

(chords repeat for this next part)

I said I better change my sinking thoughts

Before they pull me under to drown out everything I’ve got

And yet I find comfort in despair

Cause I’ve wallowed in it far too long, when things go wrong

It feels good not to care

And oh, sometimes I believe I can make the change

Good God, are you feeling the same way

 

Cause I would do it for her, if she’d do it for me

D                                             A                                       Bm 

If this is where we ought to be

                     G                  A            D          

I am only a man, my sins of pride

                          A                               Bm

are swallowed down here by your side

                                 G                F#7

 

Instead I’m gonna praise my stubborn heart

But I feel like dying, and I know I’m only at the start

And as the days go passing by

Well that window begins to close, and so it shows

When months turn into years, well I try

And oh, I believe I can make the change

Good God, are you feeling the same way

 

I would do it for her, if she’d do it for me

If this is where we ought to be

I am only a man, my sins of pride

are swallowed down here by your side

If all should fail, so often does

Of lack of passion and lack of trust

But I would do it for her if she’d do it for me

If this is where we ought to be.
