Lyrics

If (C6/9)on ly I knew what I know,

I’d (C6/9)make it a point to say so, to (C6/9)ev er y one that got me here, and to (C6/9)ev er y one that made it (Em)clear.

(Bm)I (Gmaj7)was (Am7)dead (Em)wrong

all a long.

You (Em)said (Bm)it (Gmaj7)for (Am7)my sake,

that I would not lose my way

when I was a stray.

I’m (C6/9)do ing the best that I could,

(C6/9)try ing my best to be un der stood.

(C6/9)May be I’m chang ing slow ly.

I’d get out, turn a round if on ly I (Em)knew (Bm)I (Gmaj7)was (Am7)dead (Em)wrong

all a long.

You (Em)said (Bm)it (Gmaj7)for (Am7)my sake,

that I would not lose my way when I was dead wrong

all a long.

(Am)Mine is not a new sto ry.

(Am)Mine is not a new sto ry.

(Am)Mine is noth ing new,

but it is

(C)for

(Em)me.

(Bm7)And (Em)so (Bm)I (Gmaj7)was (Am7)dead (Em)wrong

all a long.

You (Em)said (Bm)it (Gmaj7)for (Am7)my sake.

Yeah, you thought I lost my way when I was dead wrong

all a long.

You (Em)said (Bm)it (Gmaj7)for my sake,

that I would not lose my way.

Did I real ly lose my way,

or are you a fraid?
