Who am I to say (video)

+ G - D - Em - C - G - D - G - DG

G               D             Em C

1. I wish I had a dollar for every time I was unkind,

G               C                  G                 D7

I wish I'd had an answer for all the questions on her mind.

G               D             Em C

I wish I'd had a dime for all the times she needed me,

G            C               D                G

I wish I'd realized, but I was much too blind to see.

C             G                  C             G

All she wanted was to love me, but all I did was turn away,

C                   G           D D7

if I'd known how much she needed me, she might be here today.

C                   G         C            G

And if I'd only been more open and understood her ways,

C              G             - G - D - Em - C D            G

she might be in my arms tonight, but who am I to say.

+ G - D - Em - C - G - D - G - DG

 G                  D           Em    C

2. If I'd only been more loving when she needed a best friend,

  G                    C               G            D7

if I'd only patched up pieces that she needed me to mend.

G                      D            Em C

If I'd seen her troubled heart and figured out just what to do,

  G                C             D                 G

she might be laying here tonight and saying “I love you”.

+ CHORUS

C                G             - G - D - Em - C

+ She should be in my arms tonight,

D              G

but who am I to say. + G - D - Em - C - G - D - G - DG
