By Frightened Rabbit
Standard Tuning
Capo on 3 (Live)

Fairly simple, maybe a wee change during the chorus but you'll pick it up if you play along.

Em C
Time passes, accept the blame
D* C
and I accept that you might never care to see me again
at least we can shake off some shame
still I quiver like a dying leaf in a violent wind
I dont wish to be excused for this,
My disguise, my excuses they have worn so thin
May I ask, answer honestly,
What would you have done if you were me?
Em C D*
How could it go so wrong so quickly
C D*
What would you do if you were me
Don't assume that I have found this easy
Oh, how would you feel if you were me
Time passes, kills everything
in it's path and then it buries us in history
Some bits, some bits seem to stick
I thought you and I could be a timeless thing
I have to ask, please answer honestly,
What would you have done if you were me?
How could it go so wrong so quickly
What would you do if you were me
Don't assume that I have found this easy
How would you feel if you were me?
