WHAT IF
As recorded by Modern Baseball
(From the 2016 Album HOLY GHOST)



[Verse 1]
Em                    Bm           A
When I was younger, I thought of caring
     G                         D        A
As a reason for some to praise me, in envy
    Bm         Bm                A
“So humble and kind”; “No better person”
G                        D              A
Now that I’m older, I’ve seen what I’ve been
Bm          A           D                    G
Ruthless, ungrateful, always trying to turn up tracks
      D        A
Be it about me or you


[Bridge]
Bm                   D
Seeking out the faithful in me
                     E         D
With tricks of trust and gluttony
G                      D
I don’t wanna wait for anyone


[Verse 2]
G          Bm
When I was younger, I thought of deep space
G                   D         A
Pick me up swiftly, carry me away
G           Em       Bm               A
Drop me off willing, lightyears, long gone
G                  D           A
Never again seeing those who I loved
Bm        D                         F#m        G
It’s not about me this time—there I go, lying again
                       D                   A        Bm
Please save my soul, I don’t know what I’m doing anymore
                         A                        G 
               D       E
Is it possible I’m overthinking this?


[Chorus]
G
It’s not what I’m not
D         A
It’s what I believe in
G
It’s not what I’ve got
D       Em
It’s my peace of mind
G                D                   G
Too early to see if I’m still in the past
                  D  Em
Too hopeful to be wasted time
G
It’s not what I’m not
D
It’s what I believe in
G
It’s not what I’ve got
D       Em       G
It’s my peace of mind
                 D
Too early to see if I’ll be

[Outro]
Bm              D
Seeking out the fraud in me
                    E        D    G    D
With compassion and honesty, I’ll wait
