G
If I had my way,
                         C
Every road had been the right one,
                      G
Every burden been a light one,
        Em               D
Every chance the one to take,

             G
If I had my way,
                             C
I'd found everything I was missin'
                             G
I wouldn't have a need for wishin'
            Em              D
I wouldn't want for better days,

[Chorus 1]
                 C
But if I had my way
                   G 
I never would've learned
      Em             D                              G
The lessons of a struggle, or the blessings in the hurt
                        C
I would have lost the moment
                        Em (ring out)
When you find a little faith
C
God knows where I'd be
D            G
If I had my way

             G
If I had my way,
                            C
I'd have never touched the bottle
                           G             
Never found that a couple swallows, 
    Em           D
Can numb most anything

             G
If I had my way,
                          C
I'd have never let love leave
                      G           
Never felt the pain so deep, 
       Em            D
Never cried so many tears

[Chorus 2]
                 C
But, If I had my way
                     G
I never would have known
           Em           D                         G
There's a strength in admitting, that you can't let go
                       C
I would have lost the moment
                        Em (ring out)
When you find a little faith
C
God knows where I'd be
D            G
If I had my way

[Instrumental]
G, Em, D

[Chorus 3]
                 C
Oh, If I had my way
                     G
I never would have believed 
                Em       D                               G 
That You can get through anything, when your down on your knees
(hold G)              C
I would have lost the moment
                       Em (ring out)
When I found a little faith
C
God knows where I'd be
D            Em
If I had my way
C
God knows where I'd be
D           G (ring out)
If I had my way
