What If You Tab

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                             What If You - Joshua Radin
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
This tab is for Joshua Radin's 'What If You'. It is, however, based on the guitar play of Rasmus Bak on
youtube. Therefore, credit for the original song goes to Joshua Radin, but many thanks to Rasmus Bak for
creating this version (his cover can be found on youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbij9YSq3eM).
I'm sure there's some minor errors in here, but most of it seems correct.
 
The lyrics are at the bottom of the tab, along with the order in which each part is played (INTRO, VERSE,
PRE-CHORUS, CHORUS, INTERLUDE, BRIDGE and OUTRO).
 
Tabbed by: Escaran
 
( Note that the intro and verse segments are exactly the same, they are only split up to give a clearer
overview )
 
Tuning: Standard (EADGBE)
 
Capo 6th fret, all positions relative to capo

INTRO
 
VERSE
 
What if you
Could wish me away
And what if you
Spoke those words today
 
PRE-CHORUS
 
I wonder if you'd miss me
When I'm gone
It's come to this
Release me
I'll leave before the dawn
 
CHORUS
 
But for tonight
I'll stay here with you
Yes for tonight
I'll lay here with you
 
But when the sun
Hits your eyes
Through your window
There'll be nothing you can do
 
INTERLUDE
 
VERSE
 
And what if you
Could hear this song
And what if I
Felt like I belong
 
PRE-CHORUS
 
I might not be leaving
Oh so soon
Began the night believing
I loved you in the moonlight
 
CHORUS
 
So for tonight
I'll stay here with you
Yes for tonight
I'll lay here with you
 
But when the sun
Hits your eyes
Through your window
There'll be nothing you can do
 
BRIDGE
 
I could have treated you better
Better than this
Well I'm gone
This song's your letter
Can't stay in one place
 
CHORUS
 
So for tonight
I'll stay here with you
Yes for tonight
I'll lay here with you
 
But when the sun
Hits your eyes
Through your window
There'll be nothing you can do
 
OUTRO
