Intro G D Em C 

Verse 

 G 
What if I told you about my little nothing town 
 D 
The two room house where I came from 
 Em 
The man that I got my name from 
 C 
I don't even know where he is now 

 G 
What if I told you sometimes I lose my faith 
 D 
I wonder why someone like you would even talk to me 
 Em 
What if I told you there's no fixing me 
 C 
Cause everybody's already tried 

Pre-Chorus 

       G 
Would you stay? 
       D 
Would you leave? 
   Em 
I could wait 
             C 
It'll all come out eventually  

     G                       D 
If I told you all the stupid things I've done 
                Em 
I've blamed on being young 
           C 
But I was old enough to know I know 
     G                             D 
If I told you the mess that I can be 
D                               Em 
When there's no one there to see 
Em                           C 
Could you look the other way? 
C                        G D Em C 
Could you love me anyway?  

Verse 

 G 
What if I told you I don't plan on staying here 
 D 
My dreams are a million miles away 
 Em 
And I know your family's gonna want you to stay 
      C 
You know what I don't blame 'em 

Pre-Chorus 

    G 
So I'll say 
             D 
What I don't want to 
              Em 
And I'll just pray 
              C 
You want what I do 

     G                        D 
If I told you all the stupid things I've done 
                Em 
I've blamed on being young 
           C 
But I was old enough to know I know 
     G                             D 
If I told you the mess that I can be 
D                               Em 
When there's no one there to see 
Em                           C 
Could you look the other way? 
C                        G   D 
Could you love me anyway? 
D                        Em  C 
Could you love me anyway? 

Bridge 

G 
So before we go any further here 
D 
Let a week turn into another year 
       Em 
There's some things you probably don't wanna hear 
       C 
But you have to  

     G                        D 
If I told you sometimes I get jealous 
D                  Em 
Sometimes I'm half crazy 
                   C 
Would you say the hell with me, the hell with me 
     G                           D 
If I told you I barely know what love is 
D                        Em
But girl if that's what this is 
Em               C 
I don't want to let it slip away 
C         G 
No, no, no 

Outro 

G                       D 
Could you love me anyway? 
D      Em 
Please 
Em                       C 
Could you love me anyway? 
G                        D    Em 
Could you love me anyway?  
Em                       C    G 
Could you love me anyway?
