[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
