Verse 1:
G5               B5
  Wandering the K-10 
            E5
As anniversaries end
           D5
Pondering events 
that brought us here
G5             B5
  If anyone remembers when 
                     E5
Around the world and back again
      D5                  A5
Was a dream not quite so clear?
    B5 C5      G5 D5    E5
Over---whelms O-ver the hills 
D5    C5  A5          B5 C5
and away  Was not a mistake


Verse 2:
G5                       B5
  Did that straight and narrow
Nailed self-righteous 
E5           D5
arrow Get to be so decadent?
G5                      B5
  Could you trade your lessons 
                        E5
To have grown up in the process?
  D5
Remarks never relent
A5                B5 C5
  Learned by your e--xamples
       G5       D5 E5   D5  C5
And we learned by   your mistakes
A5          B5 C5
  Argue our po-sitions It's a 
  G5 D5      E5 D5       C5
decision that we have to make
           A5
It's not a mistake 


Chorus 1:
G5           D5
  If we had known 
             C5  A5 C5
What we know now
G5              D5
One year later we'd 
          C    Am C G--
still be around


Verse 3:
G5                 B5
  Got your full attention 
                   E5
Over hours of speculation,
          D5
Don't you know who 
         G5
knows? I know
               B5
Finally make decisions?
                E5
Finally work it out?
D5              C5
Finally let it go?
                  A5
We're not running backwards
          C5   A5
Don't you know  That 
   E5     D5  C5
we love reunion shows

This is not a swan 
    Am(hold)
song   But it goes


Chorus 2:
G5           D5
  If we had known 
             C5  A5 C5
What we know now
G5              D5
One year later we'd 
          C5    A5 C5
still be around
G5           D5
  If we had known 
             C5  A5 C5
What we know now
G5              D5
One year later we'd 
          C5    A5
still be around
 C5    A5 C5 G(hold)
around   A-round
