G C D G
I can say I knew you well, as well as anybody could
Em C D D7
I can say I knew you when we were young
G C D G
And a long time ago, took your hand, pulled you close
Em C D D7
You pulled away and blamed the cold and the time
C G
If I was young I would go back
C G
And pick you up against your will
C D G C G
Take you with me everywhere that I go
C G
If I had you I'd give money
C G
And all the love that you could hold
C D
And every morning we'd go dancing
C G C G
If I had you I would be gold
G C D G
They say not to dwell on the things that we can't have
Em C D D7
And to leave what's been done in the past
G C
But the memories come in
D G
And some get left behind
Em C D D7
But the sun won't go away just 'cause you ask
C G
If I was young I would go back
C G
And pick you up against your will

Take you with me everywhere that I go

If I had you I would be gold

Still sometimes late at night
C G
In my dreams, I'll drift away
Em C D D7
To the place I left alone for so many years
C G
And there you are, just like before
C G
And here I am just like today
Em C D D7
As I wake up, I'll watch you off and disappear
C G
If I was young I would go back
C G
And pick you up against your will
C D G C G
Take you with me everywhere that I go
C G
If I had you I'd give money
