What If I'm Wrong

Damien Rice


Tom: C

Am
We could wrestle with tomorrow
         C
Till tomorrow's in the past
           Dm7
Cause I have torn apart what's beautiful
       F             G
To prove that nothing last
                Am
I have stayed locked behind this door
      C
To show there's no way out
         Dm7
I've got lost within the space between
       F               G
The question and the doubt

       Am
On an ordinary day
       F
In an ordinary way
        Dm7
I have combed the cracks of virtue,
        F                G
For a place to lay the blame
             Am
And I have hated, I have lied
        F
Been guilty and denied
        Dm7
I've dismissed the ones who question me,
    F              G
Declaring, "I am right!"
                 Am  C
What if I’m wrong?
                 Dm7  F  G
What if I’m wrong?

Am
I have built a wall between what
C
I believe and what is true
      Dm7
I have sacrificed the love 
           F      G
I have for power over you
          Am
I have inflicted those who disagree 
    C
And walked over the weak
  Dm7
I have placed a gun within the mouth 
       F               G
Of those who dare to speak

      Am
On an ordinary day
       F
In an ordinary way
      Dm7
I have crushed the minds of children
        F                G
With extraordinary shame
        Am
I have carried on this war, 
        F
Though no one wins an endless fight
         Dm7
I have claimed that god is guiding me,
    F              G
And killed to prove I'm right

         Am  C
What if I’m wrong?
                 Dm7  F  G
What if I’m wrong?
         Am  C
What if I’m wrong?
                 Dm7  F  G
What if I’m wrong?

        Em               Am
Is this soul worth saving at all?
Em                                 Am
Because if I lose my wings, then surely I must fall
  Dm7           F       G
And god, thank for.
            C
We could wrestle with tomorrow
Am
‘Till tomorrow's in the past
         Dm7
We could tear apart what's beautiful
     F                 G
To prove that nothing last
      Am
We could stay locked behind the doors 
     C
To show there's no way out
Dm7
We got lost within the space between
       F               G
The question and the doubt
                  Am
What if we're wrong?
