If My Life Was An Open Book[+]

[Verse]
   D              G    D
If my life was an open book
  G                 A
I guess I'd let you have a look
G                 D
  Set you up with chapter one
G                   A
And then I'd wait until you're done
        D
There's nothing that I'd want to hide
  G              A
I just forget to look inside
G                     D
Would it be worth the time it took
   G              A
If my life was an open book

[Chorus]
      Bm           A        G       D
But I thought that I should let you know
    G                   A
The things that I don't always show
      Bm     A         G       D
Might not be worth the time it took
   G              A
If my life was an open book 

[Verse]
I could make some new mistakes
And not the same ones every time
Time and time and time again
Time and time and time again
Then maybe I could feel some shame
And not try to act surprised
The promises I wouldn't break
If I could make some new mistakes 

[Chorus]
But I thought that I should let you know
The things that I don't always show
Might not be worth the time it took
If my life was an open book 

[Verse]
If my life was an open book
I'd probably let you have a look
And you could try to change the end
But I'd just change it back again
And then we could collaborate
On all the sections that you hate
Give it all one final look
If my life was an open book

[Chorus]
But I thought that I should let you know
The things that I don't always show
Might not be worth the time it took
If my life was an open book 

If my life was an open book
