70 BPM
(Verse 1)
[G] Woke up this morning with a memory of you,
[Em] The scent of your hair and the things we used to [C] do,
[G] Flashes of midnight under a southern [Em] sky,
[Am] If you only knew how hard I [D] try.
(Chorus)
[C] If you only knew how my heart [D] breaks in [G] two,
[Em] Every time I see a sunset and it ain't [C] shared with [D] you,
[Em] If you only knew how much I [C] still [D] care,
[Am] Every dream, every whisper, I wish you were [G] there.
(Verse 2)
[G] I pass by our street, see the willow we'd sit [C] under,
[Em] Promises we made, now torn a[C]sunder,
[G] Your laughter, your touch, how it felt so [Em] right,
[Am] If you only knew, I still reach out at [D] night.
(Bridge)
[Em] Guitar strings strum, as my heartstrings [C] do,
[G] Every chord, every note, singing memories of [D] you,
[Em] A dance in the rain, that night we got [C] stuck,
[Am] If you only knew, I still feel that [G] luck.
(Chorus)
[C] If you only knew how my soul [D] yearns for [G] you,
[Em] Every star in the sky reminds me of our [C] rendez[D]vous,
[Em] If you only knew the tears that [C] I've [D] shed,
[Am] For all those words, left un[G]said.
(Verse 3)
[G] Pages of time, flipping faster, it [C] seems,
[Em] Yet you're still right here, in every one of my [C] dreams,
[G] Golden moments, now shadows of the [Em] past,
[Am] If you only knew, I'd wish to make them [D] last.
(Bridge)
[Em] The radio plays our favorite country [C] song,
[G] Takes me right back to where I [D] belong,
[Em] Beside you, under that old oak [C] tree,
[Am] If you only knew you're still a part of [G] me.
(Chorus)
[C] If you only knew how deep this love [D] runs,
[G] Beyond the setting suns, past rising [Em] ones,
[C] If you only knew how I ache to hold you [D] near,
[Am] In every silent moment, wishing you were [G] here.
(Outro)
[C] Maybe someday our paths might cross [G] again,
[Em] Till then, my love, I'll remember [Am] when,
[C] And hope that somewhere, somehow, you [G] knew,
[Am] Every beat of my heart was always true to [D] you.
