I'll take it all, yeah I'll take it all I will.
[Chorus]
Am
If I was to fight would you fight against me,
C
If I was to run would you run with me,
F
If I was to die would you bury me deep,
C
Say you would please,
Am
And if I was to scream would you hear what I said,
C
If I was to drown would you hold my head,
F
Underneath the memories of what I meant,
C
And not what I did.

If I was to fight would you fight against me,

If I was to run would you run with me,

If I was to die would you bury me deep,

Say you would please,
Am
And if I was to scream would you hear what I said,
C
If I was to drown would you hold my head,
F
Underneath the memories of what I meant,
C
And not what I did.
