Before I Knew Ya

Maddy Newton


Tom: Em

         G
You've heard the story a thousand times
  Bm
Boy meets girl and worlds collide
  C
You forget everything that you are
  Cm
When you make up your mind with your heart
  G
Now, I might be strong but I'll admit
 Bm
I thought you were the one, thought this was it
  C
You were just playing along
  Cm
And I guess I was wrong


[Chorus]
              G
I wish I'd known before I knew ya
                 Bm
Wouldn't have fallen right into ya
    Em
Would've skipped to the last chapter first
              C            Cm
Listened to every single word
                 G
But you didn't tell me you would leave me
             Bm
Forgot to mention, it wouldn't be easy
    Em                  D    C
To get to the getting over you
             Cm             G        Bm
I wish I'd known before I knew ya, knew ya


[Verse 2]
 G
From the start until the end
 Bm
Was it ever more than just pretend?
   C
Cause you know that you'd let me down
   Cm
Must've left that part out


[Chorus]
              G
I wish I'd known before I knew ya
                  Bm
Wouldn't have fallen right into ya
     Em
Would've skipped to the last chapter first
              C            Cm
Listened to every single word
                 G
But you didn't tell me you would leave me
             Bm
Forgot to mention, it wouldn't be easy
    Em                  D    C
To get to the getting over you
            Cm
I wish I'd known before


[Bridge]
   Bm
I gave all I had, and got nothing back
 Em
Boy, you don't know what you've done
                 C
If I would've known what I know now
              Cm
I would have run, run, run


[Chorus]
             G
I wish I'd known before I knew ya
                Bm
Wouldn't have fallen right into ya
  Em
Would've skipped to the last chapter first
              C            Cm
Listened to every single word
                G
But you didn't tell me you would leave me
           Bm
Forgot to mention, it wouldn't be easy
   Em                  D    C kool
To get to the getting over you
            Cm              G          Bm
I wish I'd known before I knew ya, knew ya


[Outro]
             C
I wish I'd known before I knew ya
