If I Have To Go

F#       F#/B    F#4/G#      F#8/C#     F#     (5)

And if I have to go,         will you remember me?

F#            F#/B    F#4/G# F#/C#      F#

Will you find someone else,  while I'm away?

G#m/B                           F#/A#

There's nothing for me, in this world full of strangers

    G#m             F#   (5)

It's all someone else's idea

G#m/B                        F#/A#

I don't belong here, and you can't go with me

G#m                  E        C#

You'll only slow me down





(C#)             (F#4/G#)     F#8/C#          F#        (5)

Until I send for you,         don't wear your hair that way

(F#)             (F#4/G#)     F#/C#      F#

If you cannot be true,        I'll understand

G#m/B                       F#/A#

Tell all the others, you'll hold in your arms

    G#m              F#       (5)

That I said I'd come back for you

G#m/B                   F#/A#

I'll leave my jacket to keep you warm

      G#m              E       C#

That's all that I can do





(C#)            (F#4/G#)      F#8/C#     F#     (5)

And if I have to go,          will you remember me?

(F#)                 (F#4/G#) F#/C#      F#

Will you find someone else,   while I'm away?

 

F#       F#/B    F#4/G#      F#/C#      F#     (5)
