[Intro]
Fmaj7

[Verse 1]
Fmaj7
Hope I don't die inside a plane
            Cmaj7
I'd like to die a better way
          Fmaj7
And if I live to an old age
           Cmaj7
I would've seen everything change
Gmaj7
I understand why people leave
      Fmaj7
But leaving seems scary to me

[Chorus]
  Fmaj7
I think about these things too much
              Cmaj7
My mind likes to wind itself up
       Fmaj7
And I don't get a lot of sleep
            Cmaj7
'Cause what if they happen to me?

[Bridge]
G
'Cause what if they happen to me?
Dm
Yeah, what if they happen to me?

[Verse 2]
Fmaj7                          Cmaj7
What if my room burns down in flames
      Fmaj7                     Cmaj7
And I die in my sleep and never wake?
    Gmaj7
You say I shouldn't be this way
    Fmaj7
But I don't think that I can change

[Chorus]
  Fmaj7
I think about these things too much
   Cmaj7
My mind likes to wind itself up
    Fmaj7
And I don't get a lot of sleep
            Cmaj7
'Cause what if they happen to me?

[Bridge]
G
'Cause what if they happen to me?

Yeah, what if they happen to me?
