If i could go back,

           Am                  F                C        C

That's the first thing i would do, i swear that i would.

Do my best to follow through, come up with a master plan,
          C              F

a homerun hit, a winning stand,

        C             F
a guarantee and not a promise,

         C                   F            C      C
that i'd never let your love slip from my hands.

If its the beaches,

           Am                 F                 C
If its the beaches sands you want then you will have them.

           Am                F                     C
if its the mountains bending rivers, then you will have them.

           Am           F                C
if its the wish to run away, then i will grant it.

         Am              F
take whatever you think of,

        C             F
while i go gas up the truck,

         C                F
pack the old love letters up,

        C                 F             C           C
we will read them when we forget why we left here.
