[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

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
