If I Was Smart

Shelby Lynne


Tom: G

E7sus4                  E7
My thoughts are a little cloudy
E7sus4               E7
My feelings are around me
Am7
Yesterday is passed tomorrow's gone
E7sus4          E7
Let it go I think I'm crazy
E7sus4                  E7
 You're gone and it's just daybreak
Am7
Should have known you wouldn't stay too long
Bm7                             E7
I can't tell you what time it is
Bm7                             E7sus4 E7
I'm not wise, it's just the way it is

Chorus 1
Am7
If I were smart
D                       G E7
I wouldn't have a heart
Am7
If I were smart
D                       G E7
I wouldn't have a heart

Verse 2

When you called me baby
I'm needing you already
You don't even recognize you're gone
I hate this cloud I'm under
And I can't stand the thunder
I always prayed on the happiness you brought
Sands in hourglasses hit the ground
Millions of them, lost and never found

Chorus 2

If I were smart
I wouldn't have a heart
If I were smart
I wouldn't have a heart

Bridge
C/G                               D
Oh the tin man played it cool, he said love's for fools
G                               E7sus4  E7
But his emptiness was real, he wanted more
C/G                                     D
But when his chest was pounding, he wished he'd never found it



G                               E7sus4 E7
Cause the hurt came hard and tears began to pour

Chorus 3

If he were smart
He wouldn't have a heart
If he were smart
He wouldn't have a heart

Oooooohhh

Chorus 4

If we were smart
We wouldn't have a heart
Ooohhhh
If I were smart
I wouldn't have a heart
