Chords for Matt Pless - "If I Was A Fountain" (A Fistful Of Vinyl sessions) on KXLU 88.9 FM Los Angeles

I don't know, I'm thinking about playing this song called If I Was a Fountain. _
[Ab] People seem to like that song and I never [Gb] play it.
I don't really sell it or give it out either.
I'm gonna try to play it and if I mess up it's gonna be a really special [F] version of the game.
Cool.
_ [Am] _ I wrote this song for beer in New Jersey.
_ [F] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _
[F] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [C] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _
[C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
Well if I was a fountain would your wishes bring good luck?
And if I was a jacket [C] would you always hang me up?
[F] But if I was a [Bb] jukebox would you play [F] me all the time?
[Bb] And if I [F] sold my guilty [C] soul would you [F] pay any mind?
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ _
[C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
Yeah if I had direction I'd be sure to steer you right
And if I was a freight [C] train would you ride me every night?
[F] But if I was a season [Bb] would you catch me [F] when I fall?
[Bb] And if I [F] gave you everything [C] would you just [Am] take it all?
[Bb] And if the [F] answer's yes to [C] the questions [Dm] I already know
[C] There would be nothing left to prove
I wish I [Bb] had the time [Am] but you're fine with my [Dm] fate on the [Bb] line
No need to [F] know the truth [C] it might just break your heart in two
And I've done sniffed up all my glue the lone conclusion that I drew
I guess I'm [D] only human [F] after all
_ [Bb] _ _
[F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ Yeah if I was a smile would [Bb] you turn me upside down?
And if I was a whirlwind would [C] I spin your world around?
[F] But if I was a hotel [Bb] room would you be here [F] to stay?
[Bb] And if I [F] went and stood you [C] up would you just [F] walk away?
[Bb] _ _
[F] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _
Yeah if I was a riddle [Bb] would you see me [F] as a joke?
And if I was a pocket would [C] you come and take me broke?
[F] But if I was a junkie would [Bb] you try and get [F] me fixed?
[Bb] And if I [Am] was a cigarette would you decide to quit?
But [Bb] if I'm [F] never there [C] don't despair
[Dm] Cause I don't [Bb] really care as [C] long as I'm not [F] getting caught
[Bb] I'll just [F] escape the [Am] pain of disdain
[Dm] Let me level my brain [F] from your forget-me [C]-nots
They tell you give it all you got so watch me take another shot
You're bound to make my stomach rot
For God I'm only [F] human after all _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
Yeah if I was expensive [Bb] would your wallet [F] set me free?
And if I was a letter [C] would you ever let me be?
[F] But if I was a stop sign [Bb] would you still be [F] on the go?
[Bb] And if I [Am] was a road map [C] would you let me [F] take you home?
But [Bb] if I sing [F] my song [C] is it wrong?
[Dm] If you don't sing [Bb] along but [Am] still support me in the end
Cause [A] like the [F] setting sun [Am] it's been fun [A] but it's over and done
[F] I'm moving on my [Am] friend [C] until the day we meet again
I'll wallow in my medicine and know that I'll feel better when
You realize that I'm human [F] after all
_ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _
[C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
