Reba McEntire - If You Only Knew


CAPO: 5th Fret


INTRO: G+G  C majorC  D MajorD C majorC G+G

      C majorC
So here you are again
D MajorD       G+G
Standing at my door
       C majorC
You know I'll understand
   D MajorD
Well, that's what friends are for

  C majorC
So, what's he done this time, what did he say
      G+G
To make you so darn mad that you're running away
C majorC                  D MajorD
Now you say you want to be like me

Independent and free


CHORUS:
  G+G
But if you only knew
    C majorC
What a single girl goes through
               D MajorD
The long working days and the lonely nights
  C majorC       G+G
The empty, "I Love You's"

Oh, if you only knew
     C majorC
What it's like to be alone

You'd put your anger down
   D MajorD         G+G    A augmentedA
Turn around and go back home


        **Key Change - Up 2 Semitones**

          D MajorD
Well, my life looks good to you
  E MajorE      A augmentedA
I'm always in control
     D MajorD
No one to answer to
  E MajorE
But no one there to hold


     D MajorD
You see, in my eyes you are the lucky one
   A augmentedA
With loving arms that you can lean upon
  D MajorD                 E MajorE
And I'd give anything I could to save

What you're throwing away


CHORUS:
    A augmentedA
'Cause if you only knew
    D MajorD
What a single girl goes through
               E MajorE
The long working days and the lonely nights
  D MajorD       A augmentedA
The empty, "I Love You's"

Oh, if you only knew
     D MajorD
What it's like to be alone

You'd put your anger down
   E MajorE         A augmentedA    E MajorE
Turn around and go back home


BRIDGE:

I know it's hard to face
        D MajorD      A augmentedA   D MajorD
But love ain't perfect everyday

But I know a hundred girls
     E MajorE
Who would gladly take your place


CHORUS:
  A augmentedA
So, if you only knew
    D MajorD
What a single girl goes through
               E MajorE
The long working days and the lonely nights
  D MajorD       A augmentedA
The empty, "I Love You's"

Oh, if you only knew
     D MajorD
What it's like to be alone

You'd put your anger down
   E MajorE         A augmentedA
Turn around and go back home
        D MajorD
You'd put your anger down
   E MajorE         A augmentedA
Turn around and go back home
