If I Had My Way

If I had my [G]way
Every road had been the r[C]ight one
Every burden been a li[G]ght one
Every ch[Em]ance the one to t[D]ake

If I had my w[G]ay
I'd found everything I've been mi[C]ssin'
I wouldn't have a need for wi[G]shin'
I wouldn't w[Em]ant for better d[D]ays

:Chorus 1:
But if I had my w[C]ay
I never would have le[G]arned
The bl[Em]essings of a st[D]ruggle, or the lessons in the h[G]urt
I would have lost a mo[C]ment
When you find a little f[Em]aith
[C]God knows where I'd be
[D]If I had my w[G]ay

If I had my w[G]ay
I'd have never touched the b[C]ottle
Never found in a couple s[G]wallows, can n[Em]umb most any[D]thing

If I had my w[G]ay
I'd have never let love le[C]ave
Never felt a pain so d[G]eep, never c[Em]ried so many t[D]ears

:Chorus 2:
If I had my w[C]ay
I never would have kn[G]own
The str[Em]ength of adm[D]iting, that you can't let [G]go
I would have lost a mo[C]ment
When you find a little f[Em]aith
[C]God knows where I'd be
[D]If I had my w[G]ay

[G]  [Em]  [D]

:Chorus 3:
Oh, If I had my w[C]ay
I never would have be[G]lieved
That You can g[Em]et through a[D]nything, when your down on your k[G]nees
I would[G] have lost a mo[C]ment
When you find a little f[Em]aith
[C]God knows where I'd be
[D]If I had my w[Em]ay
[C]God knows where I'd be
[D]           [G] (Fade Out)
If I had my way
