Video Tape

D Bm (D A) D


[Verse 1]
D                   A     D
If your life was on video tape
         G                  D
Wouldn't everything be all right?
               G                D
When your head hurt the morning after
                          A         D
You could roll it back to late last night.
          G                 D
You could replay all of the good parts
                           Bm
And cut out what you don't like
G            D              Bm
Oh, wouldn't you be in good shape
        D           A     D
If your life was on video tape?

[Verse 2]
D                A  D
If everybody had ESP
G                    D
Everything would be OK
G                    D
We could see trouble coming
                  A          D
And we could step out of the way.
          G                     D
When that grim reaper comes to call
                              Bm
We could arrange to be out of town
G              D              Bm
Oh, that would be the great escape
              D         A     (D A)
And you could put it on video tape.

D Bm (D A D) D


[Bridge]
D                  A     D
Now I don't have a video recorder
      G                    D
And I don't have a crystal ball
G                    D
When I'm not with my baby
                        A       D
Lord, I don't have very much at all.
G                   D
I can't predict the future
                              Bm
Babe, I sure can't change the past
G     D                     Bm
But I know it will all make sense
       D              A       D
If you love me in the present tense.

And cut out what you don't like
G            D               Bm
Oh, wouldn't you be in great shape
        D           A     D
If your life was on video tape?
A       D           A     D
