[Verse]
Em        G            Am   Am7
  What if there was no life?      
D                        C
  Nothing wrong, nothing right. 
Em        G             Am  Am7
  What if there was no time? 
D                  C
  And no reason or rhyme.
Am7                    D              Em            C             D
  What if you should decide, that you don't want me there by your side.
         Em             C             D
That you don't want me there in your life. 
 
Em        G        Am   Am7
  What if I got it wrong
D                C
  And no poem or song
Em          G                Am   Am7
  Could put right what I got wrong
D                      C
  Or make you feel I belong
Am7                    D              Em            C             D
  What if you should decide, that you don't want me there by your side.
         Em            C             D    D7
That you don't want me there in your life. 
 
 
[Chorus]
C            Am
Oooh, that's right
Em                         D
  Let's take a breath jump over the side
C            Am
Oooh, that's right      
Em                           D
  How can you know it if you don't even try 
C            Am
Oooh, that's right 
 
 
[Verse]
Em      G             Am  Am7
  Every step that you take      
D                          C
  Could be your biggest mistake 
Em         G                Am   Am7
  It could bend or it could break 
D                              C
  But that's the risk that you take 
Am7                    D
  What if you should decide
         Em            C             D
That you don't want me there in your life 
         Em            C             D    D7
That you don't want me there by your side. 
 
 
[Chorus]
C            Am
Oooh, that's right
Em                         D
  Let's take a breath jump over the side
C            Am
Oooh, that's right      
Em                           D
  How can you know it if you don't even try 
F            C   D
Oooh, that's right 
D
Ohhhhh  
C            Am
Oooh, that's right
Em                         D
  Let's take a breath jump over the side
C            Am
Oooh, that's right
Em                              D
  You know that darkness always turns into light 
F            C   D
Oooh, that's right
