Lyrics

If I’d a known the way that (D)this would end,

if I’d a read the last page first,

if I’d a had the strength to (D)walk a way,

if I’d a known how this would (G)hurt,

(G)I would ’ve (C)loved you an y way.

I’d (Em7)do it all the same, not a (C)sec ond I would change, not a (Em7)touch that I would trade.

(C)Had I (Cm)known my heart would (Am7)break, I’d have (D)loved you an y (G)way.

It’s bit ter sweet to (D)look back now,

and mem ’ries with er on the (G)vine.

But just to hold you (D)close to me,

for a mo ment in (G)time,

(G)I would ’ve (C)loved you an y way.

I’d (Em7)do it all the same, not a (C)sec ond I would change, not a (Em7)touch that I would trade.

(C)Had I (Cm)known my heart would (Am7)break, I’d have (D)loved you an y (G)way.

And e ven if I’d seen it com in’, you’d still ’ve seen me (Am7)run nin’ straight in to your (D)heart.

(G)I would ’ve (C)loved you an y way.

I’d (Em7)do it all the same, not a (C)sec ond I would change, not a (Em7)touch that I would trade.

(C)Had I (Cm)known my heart would break,

I would ’ve (D)loved you an y (G)way.

I would ’ve (C)loved you (D)an y (G)way.
