G

Am C G

C
and you're the only reason that you came
[Chorus]
G C Am D
So if you have to keep singing then singing should be fine
G C Am D
And if it ain't what you had pictured then yeah that's about right
G C Am D
Said if you have to keep singing then singing should be fine
G C Am D G
And if it ain't what you had pictured then yeah that sounds about right
