The Kooks - If Only: chords

Bm7
So hold your head and hold your tongue
But only say what you have to
Bm7      F#sus4         D
And as a child yes I dreamed
           Em7                 Bm7
Of holding her in the silver screen
             F#sus4               D
She loved her man but loved him twice
           Em7             Bm7
I wish I'd been that passenger
       F#sus4       D
Having fun, fly my kite
             Em7                  Bm7
The devil inside won't control my life
         F#sus4           D
Too much love, so little hate
             Em7                   Bm7
The devil inside won't control my fate

Chorus:
       D          Bm7
Oh, if only, if only
        D            Bm7
Oh, he wasn't so lonely
           D                Bm7
He'd have someone to play with
            D
Instead of bombing our neighbours
Bm7     F#m7 D Em7
Yeah, yeah...

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

So hold your head and run my time
The what of life no man can rhyme
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 will control my fate

Chorus:
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
