If I Could Only Start Over
Recorded by Mel Tillis
Written by Faye Bradshaw

G                         C
Now if I could only start over
    G                    D7
And have a new life to begin
G                      C
I wouldn't live like a rover
    G            D7          G
And drift like a leaf in the wind

          C                       G
Cause I'm dreamin' tonight of old sweethearts
                                D7
And believe me I've had quite a few
G                        C
But I never dream of old sweethearts
    G          D7          G
The way that I dream about you

                              C
Yes I let you slip through my fingers
      G                    D7
While foolishly searching around
G                         C
But if I could only start over
  G              D7        G
I know you could settle me down

Repeat #2

                           C
But I never dreamed of old sweethearts
    G          D7          G
The way that I dream about you
