If You Only Knew

 
D A E                G G A 
    Now wait a minute,   long lost friend 
D A E                G     G      A 
    Everything comes around, here we go again 
D A E            G G A 
    Ain't it a pity, ain't that a shame 
D A E               G          G      A 
    You're gone without a trace, face without a name 
 

 
D E     G A 
   Oh no,   not you 
D E       G A 
   I don't, you do 
D E        G A 
   Good God,  who knows? 
D E      G A 
   And so,  it goes 
D C    G      D         A/C# 
  Same old story, don't you worry 
 

 
C       G      D  E D       G    D   E 
 If you only knew,   if you only knew 
C           G        D     E  Bm 
Maybe you'd feel the way I do 
C       G      D A 
 If you only knew 
 

 
E              G       A             D A 
Right down the middle, dog on a chain 
E          G            A                 D A 
The water from the well circling the drain 
E            G     A               D  A 
Hand on the trigger, I'm holding fire 
E           G             A 
The passing of the flame, burning up inside 
 

 
D E       G A 
   Hold on,  I know 
D E        G A 
   It comes, it goes 
D C    G      D         A 
  Same old story, don't be sorry 
 

 
C       G      D E

Maybe you'd feel the way I do 
C       G      D  Em 
 If you only knew 
 

 
C           G       D       E 
 I need somebody to take my hand 
C            G            D  E 
 But really, what can you do? 
C            G             D     E 
 Lead me somewhere I can lay to rest 
C       G     D   E 
 If you only knew
