If You Only Knew chords by Reba McEntire

Reba McEntire - If You Only Knew


CAPO: 5th Fret



INTRO: G    C    D  C  G

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

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

Independent and free


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

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

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


                **Key Change - Up 2 Semitones**


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


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

What you're throwing away


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

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

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


BRIDGE:

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

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


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

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

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