Verse 1: 
    C                  Am 
If something had been different 
    C                  Am 
If something had gone right 
    C                  Am 
If something had been better, 
             C              C7 
I might not sing my song tonight 


 
    F                G 
If all my plans had come to past 
    Am                F 
And fit like hand in glove

      C             Am 
Then I'd of lost my only chance 
    G              C 
To know a perfect love 

   C           Am       C          Am

Verse 2: 
C                      Am 
If all my wrongs were righted 
 C                    Am 
And all the dreams I planned 
     C               Am 
Had worked out as I thought they should 
     C               C7 
And not turned into sand 



      F                   G 
Then we'd of walked down different paths 
     Am           F 
Not guided from above

         C               Am 
For the greatest dream I ever dreamed 
       G              C   C7 
Is to know a perfect love 


Bridge: 
   F               G                    E                 Am 
A perfect love is sometimes found with just one right mistake 
      F                  C             D                    G 
That brings the perfect couple to the crossroads that they make 
     C               E            F                  C 
And now that I have found her I changed my point of view 
       Am                              Dm                     G 
And I learned that old regretful paths can lead to something new 


Instrumental/Solo: 
    G       C   E     F         C    Am              C    G     C      Am   C     Am

Verse 3: 
C                        Am 
So if you think there's nothing left 
    C                    Am 
And if you think you're through 
    C                 Am                C          C7 
And if you've written off your life as many people do 



    F                    G 
And if your plans don't come to past 
    Am                F 
And fit like hand in glove 

E ---------

    C               Am 
Perhaps it means tomorrow 
          G              C  C7 
You will find a perfect love 


OUTRO: 
F                    G 
If your plans don't come to past 
    Am                F 
And fit like hand in glove

 C                  Am

You will find a perfect love 
   C           Am   G           C
