If Only 
Tom: D
D
'Cause I need you (x2) 
(D                         G            A)
Well every single time I see you I start to feel this way
It makes me wonder if I am ever gonna feel this way again
There's a picture that's hangin' n the back of my head 
I see it                over            and over 
        Bm           A                D
I wanna hold you and love you in my arms and then
        Bm                A                   D
I wanna need you 'cause I need to be with you till the end
Bm          A            D
Then I hear myself reply "You've got to hold it in" 
     G      A
This time tonight
Chorus:
D
If only
G           A
If only I had the guts to feel this way, 
D
If only
G        A
if only you'd look at me and want to stay, 
Bm
If only
G                A
I could take you in my arms and say, 
G            A 		       D  
I won't go  'cause I need you 
D			      G           A
Sit here waiting, wondering, hoping that I'll make this right 
cause all I think about is your hands, your face and all these lonely nights 
There's a feeling screaming in the back of my head 
Saying  it                    over and over 
        Bm           A                D
I wanna hold you and love you in my arms and then
        Bm                A                   D
I wanna need you 'cause I need to be with you till the end
Bm          A            D
Then I hear myself reply "She'll never let you in" 
     G      A
This time tonight
Chorus:
D
If only
G           A
If only I had the guts to feel this way, 
D
If only
G        A
if only you'd look at me and want to stay, 
Bm
If only
G                A
I could take you in my arms and say, 
G            A 		         
I won't go  'cause I need you 
G		A
Please don't go 'cause I need you now
Bm
I wanna hear you say it'll always be this way 
A			      D
And we'll be hand in hand for everynight and everyday 
Bm
I wanna scream and shout 'cos I'm losing any doubt 
A				D
And all I care about is you and me and us and now 
Solo

And you don't know how or why, but you've lost your way
Am              		Dm                                      
Have no fear when your tears are fallin

Someone who'll always understand
Am 	                  Dm                                
So if you feel that your soul is dyin'

It started at a bus stop in the middle of nowhere
D                       E
Sitting beside me was a man with no hair
         E                        A
>From the look on his face to the size of his toes
   D                              E
He comes from a place that nobody knows
 
Chorus:
 
F#m               A                 D
Maybe I'm hallucinating, hyperventilating,
D
Letting this big- toed bald man sitting here tell me about the sky
F#m               A                 D
Maybe I'm hallucinating, hyperventilating 
D
If you asked me now then I couldn't tell you why 
 
          E                F#m       A           B
I've been sitting here too long by a man from Milwaukee
          E           F#m         A             B       
He's been talking too long on his yellow walkie talkie 
          E          F#m       A            B
He's been talking to Mars, but I think he's wacky
   E                 F#m           A            B
He says they'll come get him, come get him some day 
E   F#m  A      
Verse 2:
E            A                  E           A
He says that where he's from is called Albertane
D                          E
There they use more than 10% of the brain 
    E            A                 E          A
But you couldn't tell it from they way they behave
     D                                       E
They run around in underwear and they never shave 
 (Repeat Chorus)

    E           A            E            A
You wouldn't believe me if I told you the rest 
    D                                E
The man sitting by me who was barely dressed 
     E           A           E         A
Flew off to Milwaukee or perhaps Albertane 
     D                                  E
And left me at the bus stop just barely sane 
F#m               A                 D
Maybe I'm hallucinating, hyperventilating 
D
If you asked me now then I couldn't tell you why 
 
          E                F#m       A           B
I've been sitting here too long thinkin' about Milwaukee
          E           F#m         A             B       
I've been talking too long on my yellow walkie talkie 
          E          F#m             A              B
I've been talking to Mars, You might think that I'm wacky
   E                F#m          A         B
I know they'll come get me, come get me someday
I know they'll come get me and take me away
I know they'll come get me, come get me someday
If not tomorrow then maybe today...

(Verse 1):
  G                        C                 D
Lately we've been talkin' bout who we are
          D/E               G               C/G
Seems we don't know anymore
  G                                 C
And all this time that we've been thinking
                      D             D/E         D/G         D
At night I've been dreaming about you
(Bridge):

    G                 C/G        G            C/G
         Till we   reach that        promised land
       D            D/G        D            D/G 
So I guess we'll
