CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO: G C D C G
So here you [C]are again
[D]Standing at my [G]door
You know I'll [C]understand
Well, [D]that's what friends are for
So, [C]what's he done this time, what did he say
To make you [G]so darn mad that you're running away
[C]Now you say you want to be like me[D]
Independent and free
CHORUS:
But [G]if you only knew
What a [C]single girl goes through
The long working days and the [D]lonely nights
The [C]empty, "I Love [G]You's"
Oh, if you only knew
What it's [C]like to be alone
You'd put your anger down
Turn a[D]round and go back [G]home[A]
Key Change - Up 2 Semitones
Well, my life looks [D]good to you
I'm [E]always in con[A]trol
No one to [D]answer to
But [E]no one there to hold
You see, [D]in my eyes you are the lucky one
With [A]loving arms that you can lean upon
And [D]I'd give anything I could to save[E]
What you're throwing away
CHORUS:
'Cause [A]if you only knew
What a [D]single girl goes through
The long working days and the [E]lonely nights
The [D]empty, "I Love [A]You's"
Oh, if you only knew
What it's [D]like to be alone
You'd put your anger down
Turn a[E]round and go back [A]home[E]
BRIDGE:
I know it's hard to face
But love ain't [D]perfect every[A]day[D]
But I know a hundred girls
Who would[E] gladly take your place
CHORUS:
