If I Knew

Oh, oh, oh, (Eb)I,

I was a (Bb)city boy;

to ride into (Ab)dangers where I'd always run,

a (Abm)boy who had his fun.

I wouldn't have (Eb)done

(Cm7)all the things that (Fm7)I have done if I (Bb)knew one (Eb)day you'd come.

(Ab)No, baby (Abm)(no, baby), (Eb)no, baby (no,

baby). (Bb)Oh, oh, oh, (Eb)I,

I know it (Bb)breaks your heart to picture the (Ab)only one you want and love in (Abm)someone else's arms.

I wouldn't have (Eb)done

(Cm7)all the things that (Fm7)I have done if I (Bb)knew one (Eb)day you'd come.

(Ab)No, baby (Abm)(no, baby), (Eb)no, baby (no,

baby). (Bb)Oh, oh, oh,

(F)Oh, (F#)baby, (G)please, let's leave the past (Cm)behind us,

behind us, (F)so (F#)that (G)we can go where love will (Cm)find us,

yeah, will find us.

(G)I (Gb)know (F)monsters will leave me,

but (Gm)I (Ab)know that you'll (Bb)believe me.

Baby, (Eb)I, I wish we were (Bb)seventeen

so I could (Ab)give you all the innocence

(Abm)that you give to me.

Oh, I wouldn't have (Eb)done all (Cm7)the things (Fm7)that I've done if I (Bb)knew

one (Eb)day you'd come,

(Ab)if I knew one day (Eb)you'd come.
