Reba McEntire - If You Only Knew
[INTRO]
C F G F C
F
So here you are again
G C
Standing at my door
F
You know I'll understand
G
Well, that's what friends are for
F
So, what's he done this time, what did he say
C
To make you so darn mad that you're running away
F G
Now you say you want to be like me
Independent and free
[CHORUS]
C
But if you only knew
F
What a single girl goes through
G
The long working days and the lonely nights
F C
The empty, "I Love You's"
Oh, if you only knew
F
What it's like to be alone
You'd put your anger down
G C D
Turn around and go back home
**Key Change - Up 2 Semitones**
G
Well, my life looks good to you
A D
I'm always in control
G
No one to answer to
A
But no one there to hold
G
You see, in my eyes you are the lucky one
D
With loving arms that you can lean upon
G A
And I'd give anything I could to save
What you're throwing away
[CHORUS]
D
'Cause if you only knew
G
What a single girl goes through
A
The long working days and the lonely nights
G D
The empty, "I Love You's"
Oh, if you only knew
G
What it's like to be alone
You'd put your anger down
A D A
Turn around and go back home
[BRIDGE]
I know it's hard to face
G D G
But love ain't perfect everyday
But I know a hundred girls
A
Who would gladly take your place
[CHORUS]
D
So, if you only knew
G
What a single girl goes through
A
The long working days and the lonely nights
G D
The empty, "I Love You's"
Oh, if you only knew
G
What it's like to be alone
You'd put your anger down
A D
Turn around and go back home
G
You'd put your anger down
A D
Turn around and go back home
If you only knew
