Am F G
What if I didn't sit down that night at the bar
Am F G
What if I wasn't half-buzzed enough to take a shot in the dark
Am7 F
And say hello, what's your name
G
What if we didn't stay out so late
Am7 F G
What if I let you be the one that got away
[Chorus]
F C G Am
'Cause I was a train wreck in a dive bar, going nowhere in this town
F C G Am
I wasn't ready, wasn't looking for a reason to stick around
F C G Am
I thought this wild heart of mine was meant to run 'til the end of time
G F G
Out on the loose, that was almost true
F C G G
Then I found you

Am F G
What if I didn't let the walls come down that night
Am F G
What if I just went home instead of laying it all on the line
Am F G
I took a chance, on the spot, asked you to dance in the parking lot
Am7 F G
Oh, don't wanna think about, think about where I'd be now

Out on the loose, that was almost true

Then I found you baby oh oh
[Break]

I wanna feel this feeling forever

Oh, whoever I am, you're making me better
