Greg Brown - If i had known

^GA little creek you could spit across Well, ^C/GJimmy and me each took one more toss Oh, our ^Emspinners bright in the evening air ^DPeople always ^D/Csaid, "There ain't ^G/Bno fish in ^D/Athere" Well, ^Ggrown-ups they ain't always right 'Cause ^CJimmy and me walked home slow that night Well, ^Emright down Main Street in our PF Flyers With two ^Dfive pound ^D/Cbass making ^G/Bgrown men ^D/Aliars

And ^GJimmy, if I had known ^C/GI might have stopped fishing right then ^Em It's just as well we don't know when things Will ^Dnever be ^D/Cthat good ^G/Bagain, ^D/Ammm ^G

^GHayride on an Autumn night Well, we ^C/Gwas 15 if I remember right We were ^Emfar apart at the start of the ride Yeah, but ^Dsomehow we ^D/Cended up ^G/Bside by ^D/Aside Oh, we ^Ghit a bump and she grabbed my arm And the ^C/Gnight was as cold as her lips were warm And I ^Emshivered as her hand held mine Yeah, and ^Dthen I ^D/Ckissed her ^G/Bone more ^D/Atime

And ^GJane, if I had known ^C/GI might have stopped kissing right then ^Em It's just as well we don't know when things Will ^Dnever be ^D/Cthat good ^G/Bagain, ^D/Ammm ^G

^GShe was older than me, I guess And ^C/Gsummer was invented for her to wear that dress Oh I,^Em I knew about risk and she knew about proof And that ^Dnight she ^D/Ctook me ^G/Bup on the ^D/Aroof We could ^Gsee the lights of the little towns We could ^C/Gwatch the August stars come down Oh, the ^Emshooting stars and the meteorites Yeah, ^Dwe went on a ^D/Cride through the ^G/Bsky that ^D/Anight

And, ^Goh, if I had known ^C/GI'd do it all over again ^EmSome things just get better and better And ^Dbetter than they ^D/Calready ^G/Bbeen, ^D/Ammm ^G
