INTRO
E5 D#m * C#m7 D#m *
VERSE 1
E5 D#m *
The first time that I saw you, lookin' like you did
C#m7 B4
We were young, we were restless, just two clueless kids
C#m B E5 D#m * C#m7 B4
But if I knew then, what I know now, I'd fall in love
VERSE 2
E5 D#m *
On a bus in Chicago, three rows to the left
C#m7 B4
You know my heart was racing for you, but we never even met
C#m B E5
But if I knew then, what I know now, I'd fall in love
CHORUS
A9 EM7/G#
'Cause love only comes, once in a while
F#m11 B4
Knocks on your door and throws you a smile
A9 EM7/G#
And takes every breath, leaves every scar
F#m11 B4
Speaks to your soul, and sings to your heart
C#m B E5 D#m * C#m7 B4
And if I knew then, what I know now, I'd fall in love
VERSE 3
E5 D#m *
On a sunny night in August, backseat of my car
C#m7 B4
Instead of tryin' to get to know you, I took it way too far
C#m B E5
But if I knew then, what I know now, I'd fall in love, oh
CHORUS
A9 EM7/G#
'Cause love only comes, once in a while
F#m11 B4
Knocks on your door and throws you a smile
A9 EM7/G#
And takes every breath, leaves every scar
F#m11 B4
Speaks to your soul, and sings to your heart
C#m B E5
And if I knew then, what I know now, I'd fall in love
BRIDGE
A9 EM7/G#
And oh I used up a lot of chances, I can't get them back
G B
But if again it comes callin', I'm gonna make it last
CHORUS
A9 EM7/G#
'Cause love only comes, once in a while
F#m11 B4
It knocks on your door and throws you a smile
A9 EM7/G#
And takes every breath, leaves every scar
F#m11 B4
Speaks to your soul, and sings to your heart
C#m B
And if I knew then, what I know now
F#m11 B
Whoa, if I knew then, what I know now
OUTRO
E5 D#m * C#m7 B4 E
I'd fall in love.
