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


CHORUS:
          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


CHORUS:
          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
If I had you I would be gold

          C               G              C            G
If I had you I would be gold



          C                G
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


CHORUS:
          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
If I had you I would be gold

          C               G              C            G
If I had you I would be gold
