What If I Was Wrong

(Key: C Major)
(Tempo: Slow and reflective)

[Verse 1]

C
I stood so sure at the fork in the road,
G
Swore my heart knew which way to go,
Am
But silence echoes louder now,
F G C
And I’m wonderin’ if I missed somehow.

[Verse 2]

C
Built up walls where bridges could’ve grown,
G
Held my pride like a polished stone,
Am
Now every mile feels twice as long,
F G C
And I’m wonderin’ what if I was wrong.

[Chorus]

F C
What if I was wrong, all along?
G Am
What if I let go of a perfect song?
F C
What if love was waitin’ there,
G Am
While I turned away too scared?
F C
What if pride sang the loudest song,
G F C
And I never knew... I was wrong?

[Verse 3]

C
Tried to outrun the things I felt,
G
Tied up my heart and left it on a shelf,
Am
But lonely nights got a voice so strong,
F G C
Keeps whisperin’, maybe I was wrong.

[Chorus]

F C
What if I was wrong, all along?
G Am
What if I let go of a perfect song?
F C
What if love was waitin’ there,
G Am
While I turned away too scared?
F C
What if pride sang the loudest song,
G F C
And I never knew... I was wrong?

[Bridge]

Am F
It’s a long road back to say,
C G
The words I threw away that day,
Am F
But if there's still a prayer inside,
Dm G
I’d give it all to make it right.

[Final Chorus]

F C
What if I was wrong, all along?
G Am
What if I let go of a perfect song?
F C
What if love was waitin’ there,
G Am
While I turned away too scared?
F C
What if pride sang the loudest song,
G F C
And I never knew... I was wrong?

[Outro]

G F C
I never knew... I was wrong.

🎸 Musical Feel:
Soft acoustic guitar, maybe a little piano gently behind it.
Light drums with brushes, very emotional delivery.
Vocals cracked just slightly — very real, not polished on purpose.
