[Intro]

  G  Am   F   C  
  G  Am   F   C  
 
 
[Verse 1]

G        Am           F  C
 I met a man going to Omaha
  G        Am                     
He told me some stories 
          F      C
'bout his son-in-law
    G                   
He spoke just like your 
Am           F       C
parents in a western drawl
   G              Am      F    C
If you could even call it that
G           Am               
 I told him how we'd hit the 
F   C
Iowa state fair
G         Am             F    C
 I felt a little like an alien out there
G           Am            F       C
 It's crazy how much he resembled ya
      G                  Am         F   C
Guess that's the comfort of middle America
 
 
[Chorus]

G      Am           F            
 And I know you're away and 
     C
out achieving something
G           Am         F               
 Found your own saving grace 
          C
and she's cute as a button
G         Am            F                   
 And I'm still a basket case but 
           C
that's the life that I picked
G               Am            F                    
 You're not the one that got away, 
                C
you're just the only "What if?"
 
 
[Post-Chorus]

G   Am     F      C
(la la, la la, la la la)
G   Am     F      C
(la la, la la, la la la)
 
 
[Verse]

G           Am         F         C
 He gave a smile as he waved goodbye
     G                Am               
I've seen that same expression 
        F       C
'bout a million times
     G                Am            
"Godspeed" he said to me 
           F       C
with understanding eyes
  G            Am       F    C
I never got to know his name
G              Am    
 I watched him as 
             F     C
he turned to walk away
  G                 
I thought about you 
Am             F       C
all the way to baggage claim
    G                  Am             F       C
You can't ask fire to stick around in pouring rain
      G               Am         
Guess that's either a blessing or
    F     C
 an awful shame
 
 
[Chorus]

G      Am           F            
 And I know you're away 
         C
and out achieving something
G           Am         F               
 Found your own saving grace 
          C
and she's cute as a button
G         Am            F                   
 And I'm still a basket case but 
           C
that's the life that I picked
G               Am            F                    
 You're not the one that got away, 
                C
you're just the only "What if?"
 
 
[Post-Chorus]

G   Am     F      C
(la la, la la, la la la)
G   Am     F      C
(la la, la la, la la la)
 
 
[Bridge]

Em             F
 Baby it was alright 

for just a little bit
Am              
 Romeo spinnin' 
D7
lies to hand to Juliet
F                        C
 You had a blueprint for life, 

I had a bucket list
    D7            Am/E  
And I didn't fit, so    
F               Fm
I just made the best of it
 
 
[Chorus]

G      Am           F            
 And I know you're away 
         C
and out achieving something
G           Am         F               
 Found your own saving grace 
          C
and she's cute as a button
G           Am             F                
 Aren't you glad I gave my place 
           C
to someone worthy of it?
G               Am            F                    
 You're not the one that got away, 
                C
you're just the only "What if?"
 
 
[Outro]

G   Am     F      C
(la la, la la, la la la)
G   Am     F      C
(la la, la la, la la la)
G   Am     F      C
(la la, la la, la la la)
G   Am     F      C
(la la, la la, la la la)
