Mark Erelli - Nothing ventured nothing gained

^CWish I could say that ^GI didn't ^Cknow ^G If we ^Amheld on too tight or just ^Flet it all ^Ggo Thinking ^Cmaybe we'd profit from ^Gtime spent a^Amlone ^GOhh, we ^Cmust have been crazy back ^Gthen

And I re^Ammember the words you ^Csaid as you left ^G "What you've ^Amdone I could never for^Fgive or for^Gget" But in^Cside I was hoping, despite ^Gall your re^Amgret ^G That ^Cmaybe we'd finish as^G friends ^F

I ^Eguess it's all true, you^F know what they say You don't ^Cknow what you've ^Ggot 'till you've ^Fthrown it away When ^Enothing is ventured,^F nothing is gained But ^Csome things can^Gnot be so ^Feasily explained

^CLooking back now it's so ^Geasy to s^Cee ^G If I had ^Amjust stood by you and you'd ^Fjust stood by ^Gme To^Cgether we'd weather all ^Glife's sto^Amrmy seas ^G With each ^Cother as a captain and ^Gcrew

And with ^Amall of that time we've ^Cinvested in love ^G You might have ^Amthought we could rise above ^Fall of this ^Gstuff But what we ^Cgot in return wasn't ^Gnearly e^Amnough ^G To ^Ckeep us from singing the ^Gblues ^F

I ^Eguess it's all true, you^F know what they say You don't ^Cknow what you've ^Ggot 'till you've ^Fthrown it away When ^Enothing is ventured,^F nothing is gained But ^Csome things can^Gnot be so ^Feasily explained

They say ^Call wounds are healed by the ^Ggraces of ^Ctime ^G And that ^Amlonely is only a ^Fstate of ^Gmind Still I ^Cwish you were walking right ^Ghere by my^Am side ^G To have and to ^Chold 'till the ^Fday that I die

I ^Eguess it's all true, you^F know what they say Sometimes the ^Cbest thing to ^Gdo is just to ^Fwalk away When ^Enothing is ventured,^F nothing is gained But ^Csome things can^Gnot be so ^Feasily explained
