     You seem to find the dark, when everything is bright

      Does it feel good to you, to rain on my parade

Chorus: | Strum here
--------

            
  If I were you 

                                
  Holding the world right in my hands 

                     
  The first thing I'd do 
 
                                  
  Is thank the stars for all that I am 

               - -  -

Verse 2 | 
--------


                        
  Look at what's around you now 


  More than you ever dreamed 

                                             
  Have you forgotten just, how hard it used to be? 

                         
  So what's it going to take, for you to realize 

                                            
  That all could go away, in one blink of an eye 

                       (keep playing )  
It happens all the time

Chorus: |

  If I were you 

                                
  Holding the world right in my hands 

                     
  The first thing I'd do 
            
                    
  Is thank the stars above 

                 
  tell the ones I love

           
  that i do

  Is thank the stars above 

                 
  For the words I love
     
                           
  Take a breath and enjoy the view 
  
                           
  Live the life that I wanna do 
  
         
  If I were you 
  
        
  If I were you 
  
        
  If I were you
