Em7 G  G/B A6/7/9 Em7      G G/B A6/7/9   D
If  I knew  then      what I know now...

   G  Em7  D   Bm7       G  Em7  D
If I knew then,    you'd be here now;

     F#m       Em7            A7     Em7  G/B     A7
I'd trade the world and it's gold to have and to hold

    DM7  Em7  A7  D6 G/B  D
The one thing in life I lost.


Em7 G  G/B A6/7/9 Em7     G G/B A6/7/9   D
If  I knew  then     what I know now,

          D9         GM7    A7 G/B   D9
We would never have drift - ed  a - part.

   Bm    G          F#7              D9       F#7     B7
If I had only taken your dreams and made them part of mine...


First Time:

   G       Em7     Gdim A6/7/9   D
If I knew then what I    know   now.


Last Time:

   G       Em7     Gdim A6/7/9  Dalt  C#7  G  B7
If I knew then what I    know   now 

   G       Em7     Gdim A6/7/9   D
If I knew then what I    know   now.
