These are the chords for If I Hadn’t Met You by Chelsea Cutler on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

[Verse 1]
D
If I hadn't met you
        A         E
Would I be all alone?
D
Hiding in my bedroom
        A              E
Living life through a phone
       D
I'm scared of everything
            A
and everyone
E                     D
Everything I haven't done yet
            A     E
My head is in its own
D
.I was a dreamer
but I hit my ceiling
A                   E
I lie awake stone cold most evenings
D
Hit the bleachers
instead of playing
A
'Cause I gave up when it
  E
 got frustrating

[Pre-Chorus]
D
Then you find someone
 in your bed
     A
Who doesn't hate the things
       E
 that go on in your head
D
And out of everybody else
                   A   E
that I met, it's you

[Chorus]
D
You, if I didn't have you
    A    E
I don't think I'd

even leave my home
Wouldn't have no
        F#m   E
place to go, go
D
You, if I didn't have you
   A      E
I don't think I'd be
 the same

I won't ever let you,
       F#m   E
let you go, go

[Verse 2]
D
If I hadn't met you
         A              E
Would I lie through my teeth
D
Hiding all the rest
              A           E
You got the best part of me
       D
I'm scared of letting
           A
 anybody get
E                        D
Close enough to have regrets
              A     E
I get if you wanna go
I was a dreamer but
 I hit my ceiling
I lie awake stone cold
most evenings
D
Hit the bleachers
instead of playing
A                 E
'Cause I gave up when
it got frustrating
