Song: If I Had You Artist: Joe Purdy Album: This American (2010)
GCDG I can say I knew you well, as well as anybody could
EmCDD7 I can say I knew you when we were young
GCDG And a long time ago, took your hand, pulled you close
EmCDD7 You pulled away and blamed the cold and the time
CHORUS: CG If I was young I would go back
CG And pick you up against your will
CDGCG Take you with me everywhere that I go
CG If I had you I'd give money
CG And all the love that you could hold
CD And every morning we'd go dancing
CGCG If I had you I would be gold
GCDG They say not to dwell on the things that we can't have
EmCDD7 And to leave what's been done in the past
GC But the memories come in
DG And some get left behind
EmCDD7 But the sun won't go away just 'cause you ask
CHORUS: CG If I was young I would go back
CG And pick you up against your will
CDGCG Take you with me everywhere that I go
CG If I had you I'd give money
CG And all the love that you could hold
CD And every morning we'd go dancing
CG If I had you I would be gold
CGCG If I had you I would be gold
CG Still sometimes late at night
CG In my dreams, I'll drift away
EmCDD7 To the place I left alone for so many years
CG And there you are, just like before
CG And here I am just like today
EmCDD7 As I wake up, I'll watch you off and disappear
