Verse 1:
G               Bm
  Wandering the K-10 
            Em
As anniversaries end
           D
Pondering events 
that brought us here
G             Bm
  If anyone remembers when 
                     Em
Around the world and back again
      D                  Am
Was a dream not quite so clear?
    Bm C      G D/F#    Em
Over---whelms O-ver the hills 
D    C  Am          Bm C
and away  Was not a mistake


Verse 2:
G                       Bm
  Did that straight and narrow
Nailed self-righteous 
Em           D
arrow Get to be so decadent?
G                      Bm
  Could you trade your lessons 
                        Em
To have grown up in the process?
  D
Remarks never relent
Am                Bm C
  Learned by your e--xamples
       G       D/F# Em   D  C
And we learned by   your mistakes
Am          Bm C
  Argue our po-sitions It's a 
  G D/F#      Em D       C
decision that we have to make
           Am
It's not a mistake 


Chorus 1:
G           D/F#
  If we had known 
             C  Am C
What we know now
G              D/F#
One year later we'd 
          C    Am C G--
still be around


Verse 3:
G                 Bm
  Got your full attention 
                   Em
Over hours of speculation,
          D
Don't you know who 
         G
knows? I know
               Bm
Finally make decisions?
                Em
Finally work it out?
D              C
Finally let it go?
                  Am
We're not running backwards
          C   Am
Don't you know  That 
   Em     D/F#  C
we love reunion shows

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


Chorus 2:
G           D/F#
  If we had known 
             C  Am C
What we know now
G              D/F#
One year later we'd 
          C    Am C
still be around
G           D/F#
  If we had known 
             C  Am C
What we know now
G              D/F#
One year later we'd 
          C    Am
still be around
 C    Am C G(hold)
around   A-round
