[Intro]
 G  Am  F   C 
G  Am  F   C 

[Verse 1]
G        Am           F  C
 I met a man going to Omaha
  G        Am         
He told me some stories 
            F      C
\'bout his son-in-law
    G                  
He spoke just like your
 Am           F       C
 parents in a western drawl
   G              Am  
If you could even call
    F    C
 it that
G           Am      
 I told him how we\'d 
         F   C
hit the Iowa state fair
G         Am         
 I felt a little like
    F    C
 an alien out there
G           Am       
 It\'s crazy how much 
     F       C
he resembled ya
      G                 
Guess that\'s the comfort
 Am         F   C
 of middle America

[Chorus]
G      Am           F      
 And I know you\'re away and
      C
 out achieving something
G           Am         F    
 Found your own saving grace 
           C
and she\'s cute as a button
G         Am            F   
 And I\'m still a basket case 
                C
but that\'s the life 
that I picked
G               Am  
 You\'re not the one
           F  
 that got away,
                 C
 you\'re just the only
 \"What if?\"

[Post-Chorus]
G   Am     F      C
(la la, la la, la la la)
G   Am     F      C
(la la, la la, la la la)

[Verse 2]
G           Am     
 He gave a smile as
    F         C
 he waved goodbye
     G                Am     
I\'ve seen that same expression
          F       C
 \'bout a million times
     G                Am
\"Godspeed\" he said to me
            F       C
 with understanding eyes
  G            Am       F    C
I never got to know his name
G              Am          
 I watched him as he turned
    F     C
 to walk away
  G                 Am 
I thought about you all 
            F       C
the way to baggage claim
    G                  Am 
You can\'t ask fire to stick
            F       C
 around in pouring rain
      G               Am      
Guess that\'s either a blessing 
       F     C
or an awful shame

G      Am           F     
 And I know you\'re away and
       C
 out achieving something

[Bridge]
Em             F
 Baby it was alright for 
just a little bit
Am              D7
 Romeo spinnin\' lies
 to hand to Juliet
F                        C
 You had a blueprint for life,
 I had a bucket list
    D7            Am/E
And I didn\'t fit, so   
  F               Fm
 I just made the best of it

[Chorus]
G      Am           F      
 And I know you\'re away and
      C
 out achieving something
G           Am         F    
 Found your own saving grace
           C
 and she\'s cute as a button
G           Am             F    
 Aren\'t you glad I gave my place
            C
 to someone worthy of it?
G               Am            F  
 You\'re not the one that got away, 
                  C
you\'re just the only \"What if?\"

[Outro]
G   Am     F      C
(la la, la la, la la la)
G   Am     F      C
(la la, la la, la la la)
G   Am     F      C
(la la, la la, la la la)
G   Am     F      C
(la la, la la, la la la)
