As If I Really Knew You Words Fred Grittner/Music Jan Hauenstein

(G) (B7) (Em) (C) (D) (D4)(hold)
As (G)if I really (B7)knew you,
(Em) As if you really (C)cared.
My (D)car has had a breakdown,
But (Am)it won’t be re(D)paired.
I (G)came to see you (B7)Sunday,
By (Em)Monday you were (C)gone.
As (D)if I really knew you,
As (Em)if you (A7)were the (D)one. (D4)(hold)

As (G)if I saw it (B7)coming,
As (Em)if I turned my (C)eyes.
I (D)courted every favor,
I (Am)did not get re(D)prise.
For (G)me it all makes (B7)sense now,
You (Em)bounced the ball so (C)high.
As (D)if I saw it coming,
As (Em)if I (A7)broke the (D)tie. (D4)(hold)

As (G)if the night be(B7)comes you,
As (Em)if the day be(C)trays.
You (D)mentioned the survivors
Of the (Am)crash in the Ever(D)glades.
For (G)me it all makes (B7)sense now,
You dis(Em)missed the doubts I (C)owned.
As (D)if I saw it coming,
As (Em)if I (A7)made the (D)loan. (D4)(hold)

(C)Maybe I could have (D)sensed it,
(B7)Maybe I should have (Em)known,
That (Am)what we had was so (Em)hard to keep,
But so (B7)easy to dis(Em)own.(Em/B)(Em/G)(Em) (Am) (Am7) (D) (D4) (D)(hold)
(G) (B7) (Em) (C) (D) (Am) (D)

For (G)me it all makes (B7)sense now,
You (Em)bounced the ball so (C)high.
No, I (D)did not see it (hold)coming,
What a way to say good(G)bye. (B7) (Em)

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
