Omaha (The Only What If)

Intro G Am F C G Am F C [Verse 1] G Am F C I met a man going to Omaha G Am F C He told me some stories 'bout his son-in-law G Am F C He spoke just like your parents in a western drawl G Am F C If you could even call it that G Am F C I told him how we'd hit the Iowa state fair G Am F C I felt a little like an alien out there G Am F C It's crazy how much he resembled ya G Am F C Guess that's the comfort of middle America Chorus G Am F C And I know you're away and out achieving something G Am F C Found your own saving grace and she's cute as a button G Am F C And I'm still a basket case but that's the life that I picked G Am F C You're not the one that got away, you're just the only "What if?" [Post-Chorus] G Am F C (la la, la la, la la la) G Am F C (la la, la la, la la la) [Verse 2] G Am F C He gave a smile as he waved goodbye G Am F C I've seen that same expression 'bout a million times G Am F C "Godspeed" he said to me with understanding eyes G Am F C I never got to know his name G Am F C I watched him as he turned to walk away G Am F C I thought about you all the way to baggage claim G Am F C You can't ask fire to stick around in pouring rain G Am F C Guess that's either a blessing or an awful shame Chorus G Am F C And I know you're away and out achieving something G Am F C Found your own saving grace and she's cute as a button G Am F C And I'm still a basket case but that's the life that I picked G Am F C You're not the one that got away, you're just the only "What if?" [Post-Chorus] G Am F C (la la, la la, la la la) G Am F C (la la, la la, la la la) Bridge Em F Baby it was alright for just a little bit Am D7 Romeo spinnin' lies to hand to Juliet F C You had a blueprint for life, I had a bucket list D7 Am/E F Fm And I didn't fit, so I just made the best of it Chorus G Am F C And I know you're away and out achieving something G Am F C Found your own saving grace and she's cute as a button G Am F C Aren't you glad I gave my place to someone worthy of it? G Am F C You're not the one that got away, you're just the only "What if?"
