[Intro]
C G D Am
C G D Am
[Verse 1]
C G D
I crashed my car on Tuesday
Am C
Sat on the side of the highway
G D Am
And beat myself up for an hour
C G D
I picked a fight with my mom
Am C
For something that I did wrong
G D Am
And cried about it in the shower
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
And it's been one of these weeks where
D Am
I don't know what I want
C G D Am
And it's making me think that I've done everything wrong
C G D Am
Is there a version of me who did things differently?
C G D
And if you're out there, I wonder
[Chorus]
C G D Am
Did you get rich and famous from that part that I turned down?
C G D Am
Did you have a couple kids and did you stay in our hometown?
C G D
Did you sleep with lots of people, try cocaine on your 21st
C G D
Are you happy is it better is it worse
Am C G D
In a parallel universe
Am C G D Am
Parallel universe
[Verse 2]
C G D Am
I know it's in my nature to think there's something greater
C G D Am
Than what I got in front of me
C G D
Is there a bigger purpose?
Am C
Is it all pre-determined?
G D Am
Does it all mean anything?
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
Cause it's just one of those things
D Am
Where I don't know what I want
C G
But when I stop and think
D Am
It's been good all along
C G D Am
Is there a version of me who did things differently?
C G D
And if you're out there, I wonder
[Chorus]
C G D Am
Did you find a man who loves you half as good as mine loves me
C G D Am
Did your family become your best friends like mine turned out to be
C G D
Did you find a way to let go of all the pain you don't deserve
C G D
Are you happy is it better is it worse
Am C G D
In a parallel universe
Am C G D
In a parallel universe
Am C G D
(In a parallel universe)
Am C G D Am
(In a parallel universe)
[Chorus]
C G D Am
Ain't it funny how we all end up with things we'd wanna change
C G D Am
Embarrassed of our stories holding on to all the shame
C G D Am
And if they figured out a way for me to go and talk to her
C G D
It's probably better and it's probably kinda worse
C G D
In a parallel universe
Am C G D Am
In a parallel universe
[Outro]
C G D Am
