verse 1

Cmaj7 Am7
i hear the things you say
F G
i read your mind and i understand
Cmaj7 Am7
baby the plans you make somehow got off the track
F G
maybe so or we just forgot to plan

chorus

if it’s true
G
i don’t mind
C Cb Am7
there’s a million other things that keep me up at night
F F#dim
maybe it’s not quite right
Dm

Dm F * ( C / intro riff )
if it’s true

verse 2

Cmaj7 Am7
the coast is never clear
F G
answers always beyond our reach
Cmaj7 Am7
and though it’s not my way won’t you help me try
F G
let’s make jam when life gives us a peach

bridge

F G
with every passing year the end draws near
F G
another hope that’s smashed
F G
tell me it doesn’t matter anyway
C C/B Am7
and i don’t feel let down
F G Am7 C
it’s always better when you are near

verse 3
Cmaj7 Am7
won’t you try a little bit harder?
F G
i could try a little bit more
Cmaj7 Am7
if you could only stop thinking about all of all that we miss
F G
maybe we’ll find just what we’re looking for

chorus
F
if it’s true
G
i don’t mind
C Cb Am7
there’s a million other things that keep me up at night
F F#dim
maybe it’s not quite right
Dm
but we’ll find out
Dm F G F
find out if it’s true
G
i don’t mind
C Cb Am7
there’s a million other things that keep me up at night
F F#dim
maybe it’s not quite right
Dm
but we’ll find out
Dm F * ( C / intro riff )
if it’s true
