[Verse 1]
 
E                        D
If I were a swan, I'd be gone.
E                          D
If I were a train,  I'd be late.
    E           C#7           F#               B7           E    B7
And if I were a good man, I'd talk to you more often than I do.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
E                           D
If I were to sleep, I could dream.
E                         D
If I were afraid, I could hide.
E          C#7  F#                    B7          E       B7
If I go insane, please don't put your wires in my brain.
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
E                          D
If I were the moon, I'd be cool.
E                         D
If I were a rule, I would bend.
E           C#7           F#             B7             E         B7
If I were a good man, I'd understand the spaces between friends.
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
E                        D
If I were alone, I would cry.
    E                          D
And if I were with you, I'd be home and dry.
    E         C#7            F#           B7               E      B7
And if I go insane, will you still let me join in with the game?
 
 
[Verse 5]
 
E                        D
If I were a swan, I'd be gone.
E                         D
If I were a train, I'd be late again.
E           C#7           F#                 B7           E
If I were a good man, I'd talk with you more often than I do.

I don't know about you all, but I'm standing here at the kitchen sink having just played this with my eyes filled with tears. That's a beautiful song.
