GCDG
I can say I knew you well, as well as anybody could
EmCDD7
I can say I knew you when we were young
GCDG
And a long time ago, took your hand, pulled you close
EmCDD7
You pulled away and blamed the cold and the time
CHORUS:
CG
If I was young I would go back
CG
And pick you up against your will
CDGG
Take you with me everywhere that I go
CG
If I had you I'd give money
CG
And all the love that you could hold
CD
And every morning we'd go dancing
CGG
If I had you I would be gold
GCDG
They say not to dwell on the things that we can't have
EmCDD7
And to leave what's been done in the past
GC
But the memories come in
DG
And some get left behind
EmCDD7
But the sun won't go away just 'cause you ask
CHORUS:
CG
If I was young I would go back
CG
And pick you up against your will
CDGG
Take you with me everywhere that I go
CG
If I had you I'd give money
CG
And all the love that you could hold
CD
And every morning we'd go dancing
CG
If I had you I would be gold
CGG
If I had you I would be gold
CG
Still sometimes late at night
CG
In my dreams, I'll drift away
EmCDD7
To the place I left alone for so many years
CG
And there you are, just like before
CG
And here I am just like today
EmCDD7
As I wake up, I'll watch you off and disappear
CHORUS:
CG
If I was young I would go back
CG
And pick you up against your will
CDGG
Take you with me everywhere that I go
CG
If I had you I'd give money
CG
And all the love that you could hold
CD
And every morning we'd go dancing
CG
If I had you I would be gold
CGG
If I had you I would be gold
