If Only Tab

by The Kooks


Quite easy. Just listen to the song, it hasn’t even got a bridge or solo, so everythings repeating.. 

Verse:  /  /  /  

Chorus:  /  (x3) 
	  
	  
  

Bm *guitar break*
So hold your head, and hold your tongue

But only say what you have to

               
And as a child yes I dreamed

                            
Of holding her in the silver screen

                           
She loved her man but loved him twice

                         
I wish I'd been that passenger

             
Having fun, fly my kite

                                
The devil inside won't control my life

                    
Too much love, so little hate

                                
The devil inside won't control my fate


                     
Oh, if only, if only

                        
Oh, he wasn't so lonely

                               
He'd have someone to play with

            maj7
Instead of bombing our neighbours

           
Yeah, yeah...


(verse chords:)
 
So here I go to see the world

With my eyes and with my soul

And too much love, so little hate

The devil inside won't control my fate


(Chorus chords:)

Oh, if only, if only

Oh, he wasn't so lonely

He'd have someone to play with

Instead of bombing our neighbours

      
Yeah, yeah...


Yeah!


Bm *guitar breakes again*
So hold your head and run my time

The what of life no man can rhyme 

Bm7       etc. (verse)
So here we are and here we bleed

To be a victim there's no need

Having fun, I never fight

The devil inside controls my life

Too much love so little hate

The devil inside controls my fate


(Chorus 2x)

Oh, if only, if only

Oh, he wasn't so lonely

He'd have someone to play with
                                   
Instead of bombing our neighbours


Oh, if only, if only

Oh, he wasn't so lonely

He'd have someone to play with
                                                        
Instead of bombing our neighbours
