If I Were You chords by Switchfoot

[Verse 1]

      E      B
2020 enemies
              C       Am
What a dismal odyssey
             E      B
Held by only apathy
             C       Am
Is there any remedy?
                      E         B
'Cause we bicker over Listerine
                    C       Am
With Twitter as our liturgy
              E      B
What a crummy legacy
     C       Am
2020 enemies
 
 
[Chorus]

          E   B
If I were you
          C     G
And you were me
                  A      G#
Would we still be doomed
         G   F
To disagree?
                E    B
'Cause you'd be me
          C   G
If I were you
              A   G#
And you never see
            G    F
My point of view
          E G#m A B
If I were you
           E G#m A B
If I were you, mm-mm
 
 
[Verse 2]

                E      B
Hey Romeo, it's Juliet
                    C        Am
Are you Montague or Capulet?
                    E        B    
Or some denigrating apathetic insult 
        C  N.C.
that we both forget?
                      E        B
'Cause fake is on the internet
                   C      Am
And fear is on the TV set
              E       B
Our rage is a habitat
             C          Am
For our 2020 novelettes
 
 
[Chorus]

          E              B
If I were you (If I were you)
             C    
And you were me 
             G
(And you were me)
                  A    
Would we still be doomed 
                   G#
(Would we still be doomed)
       G              F
To disagree? (To disagree?)
                E      
'Cause you'd be me 
                 B
('Cause you'd be me)
          C              G
If I were you (If I were you)
              A   
And you never see 
               G#
(And you never see)
            G    
My point of view 
             F
(My point of view)
          E G#m A B
If I were you
 
 
[Bridge]

E                   C          G  E
Hey babe, we're the dinosaurs (Oh-oh)
E           
I get the feeling 
           C            G  E
we've been here before (Oh-oh)
E                     
Ain't it clear what 
      C            G  E
we're aiming for? (Oh-oh)
E                   C
Hey babe, we're the dinosaurs
B                        E
Yeah, but what if me and you
N.C.
Were in each other shoes
N.C.
Could we break through?
N.C.
To somewhere different, 

somewhere new
                   Bass:    E  D#
'Cause if you're stuck with me
                       C#  B
I guess I'm stuck with you
          A             G#  
Could we rise above the scars 
             F#
that we both put 
           B
each other through
 
 
[Chorus]

          E     
If I were you 
                      B
(I think I'm ready to try us)
             C#m   
And you were me 
                      E
(I think I'm ready to try)
                  A  
Would we still be doomed
                 E
(To put the past behind us)
        A      
To disagree? 
                       B
(Yeah, to put the past behind)
                E    
'Cause you'd be me 
                     B
('Cause it's already behind us)
          C#m         
If I were you 
                           E
(Yeah, I'm sick of falling behind)
          A       
And all I see 
                      E
(I think I'm ready to try us)
                   A    
Is what you put me through 
                       B
(Maybe I'd be ready to try)
 
[Outro]

              E        
If I were you if you were me,
B          C
I would be you
    G                 A
And then we'd both be true
  G#               G     F
I wonder what we'd do
E              B          C
If you were me, I would be you
      G               A
Would one plus one be two?
  G#               G     F
I wonder what we'd do
          E
If I were you
