If I could turn back time

by Cher



Instrumental Guitar chug


[Intro Chorus]

If I could turn back time

If I could find a way

I'd take back those words that've hurt you and you'd stay


[Verse 1]

I don't know why I did the things I did

I don't know why I said the things I said

Pride's like a knife, it can cut deep inside

Words are like weapons, they wound sometimes


[Pre-Chorus]

I didn't really mean to hurt you

I didn't wanna see you go

I know I made you cry, but baby


[Chorus]

If I could turn back time, if I could find a way

I'd take back those words that've hurt you, you'd stay

If I could reach the stars, I'd give 'em all to you

Then you'd love me, love me, like you used to do

If I could turn back time


[Verse 2]

My world was shattered, I was torn apart

Like someone took a knife and drove it deep in my heart

When you walked out that door I swore that I didn't care

But I lost everything, darlin', then and there


[Pre-Chorus]

Too strong to tell you I was sorry

Too proud to tell you I was wrong

I know that I was blind and darlin'


[Chorus]

If I could turn back time, if I could find a way

I'd take back those words that've hurt you and you'd stay

If I could reach the stars, I'd give 'em all to you

Then you'd love me, love me, like you used to do


[Bridge]

If I could turn back time

(If I could turn back time)

If I could turn back time

(If I could turn back time)

If I could turn back time

Oh, baby


[Pre-Chorus / Guitar solo] 

I didn't really mean to hurt you

I didn't wanna see you go

I know I made you cry, but


[Chorus]

If I could turn back time, if I could find a way

I'd take back those words that hurt you

(Key Change) 

If I could reach the stars, I'd give 'em all to you

Then you'd love me, love me, like you used to do, if I could turn back time

Turn back time, if I could find a way

And maybe, maybe, maybe you'd stay

Reach the stars, If I could reach the stars
