If I Had Only Known

G  D  G   D  G   Am  Em  C


N.C.     D    G
If I had only known
           Am
It was the last walk in the rain
    G                Am    D      G
I'd keep you out for hours in the storm
N.C.    D         G
I would hold your hand
       Am
Like a lifeline to my heart
G              B7            Em     A
Underneath the thunder we'd be warm
   G                 D7
If I had only known
                            G
It was our last walk in the rain


N.C.     D    G
If I had only known
          Am
I'd never hear your voice again
    G             Am        D   G
I'd memorize each thing you ever said
            D       G
And on those lonely nights
        Am
I could think of them once more
    G                B7          Em       A
And keep your words alive inside my head
   G                 D7
If I had only known
                            G
I'd never hear your voice again

             D              C
You were the treasure in my hand
             D              C               Db
You were the one who always stood beside me
       G
So unaware
  Bbm7        G                      Am
I foolishly believed that you would always be there
         G                       C
But then there came a day and I
                   D                   C   D  C   G  C  G
Turned my head and you slipped away___


N.C.     D    G
If I had only known
          Am
It was my last night by your side
    G          Am        D        G
I'd pray a miracle would stop the dawn
               D        G
And when you'd smile at me
        Am
I would look into your eyes
         G                Eb                Em     Db   G
And make sure you know my love for you goes on and on
                     D7
If I had only known
   G               C
If I had only known___
        G                      D7
All the love I would've shown
             (G)     G D  G   D  G  Am  C  D   G
If I had only known
