Intro:  C G Em (x2) 

 C                              
I wouldn't be half lit drunk 
                          
Digging 'round the danger 
 Am                                  
Wrapping my number on a coaster 
                         
Sliding it to a stranger 
 F                                               
Walking crooked justifying all my bad behavior 
D2                                                      
Tangled up in someone's arms I know I won't see later 
 C                                                            
I wouldn't be getting good at getting good at staying calm 
  Am                                               
Or sitting high and mighty on my broken throne 
 F                                                           
I wouldn't be cursing God for leaving me here all alone 
   Em                          D2                        
I wouldn't be stuck between a rock and being stung 


    F        C      
If love was fair 
                
I'd be golden 
       F        Em5       
Cause you'd be there 
            F          
I know it's patient 
             C        
I know it's kind 
        Am                 Em          
But it wouldn't change its mind 
            Am      
And I feel there 
   Em        Am        
If love was fair 


 C                                                      
I wouldn't be replaying what it was and what it wasn't 
  Am                                                   
Or thinking I could change if I only saw it coming 
 F                                                    
It wouldn't take everything I have to rise above it 
  D                             
There'd be some kind of peace 
       G                                
Yeah, there'd be some kind of justice 


  F        C      
If love was fair 
                
I'd be golden 
       F        Em5       
Cause you'd be there 
            F          
I know it's patient 
             C        
I know it's kind 
        Am                 Em          
But it wouldn't change its mind 
            Am      
And I feel there 
   Em        Am        
If love was fair 


C Em7 (x2) 

 F                  
Love is twisted 
 C                  (keep the C in rhythm till "like you" then play the Chorus) 
It has its rules 
                            
And I'd be over it like you 

  F        C      
If love was fair 
                
I'd be golden 
       F        Em5       
Cause you'd be there 
            F          
I know it's patient 
             C        
I know it's kind 
        Am                 Em          
But it wouldn't change its mind 
            Am      
And I feel there 
   Em        Am        
If love was fair 

End with C
