This song has many layers, but the guitar part repeats the entire song
Capo 2 (chords are relative to capo)
[G]If I had known you bette[D]r I could probably [G]get my money back[C]
[G]From that old preacher a[D]nd his organist who said she[G] knew my dad[C]
G - D - G -C (x2) ((I like to finger pick these instrumental parts and the chorus))
[G]When we were younger and [D]you promised me that you wou[G]ld where my ring[C]
[G]But you where 14 years beh[D]ind the time when you ca[G]n mean such things[C]
[G]But I will hold [D]on with my open hands[G][C]
[G]But I will hold [D]on with my open hands[G][C]
G-D-G-C (x2)
[G]And I suppose I should[D] decide what I can d[G]o with all your clothes[C]
[G]And closets full of al[D]l the places you and I[G] will never go[C]
[G]Is it misguided tha[D]t I can recall t[G]he day you left my bed[D]
[G]And asked your mom and dad[D] if maybe you could stay with[G] them instead[C]
[G]But I will hold[D] on with my open hands[G][C]
[G]But I will hold[D] on with my open hands[G][C]
