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

    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 


                    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 


[Refrão]

       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

So, if you only knew
