I wish I didn’t know now    (intro)

 

    D - CGCG

 

      - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -   G

1. I never ask you where you're going, I never ask you where you been,

 

    I never called and checked your stories,

 

     you stayed out with all your friends.

                                             C                                               D

    I never tried to catch you lying, I didn't wanna know the truth,

                                          C           - D                                     G

    I'd rather go on loving blind, girl,       than go on loving without you.

 

  - - - - - - - - - - - - -    C                                   D                

I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then,

                        G

I wish I could start this whole thing over again,

                              Am                          D

I'm not saying that you could ever be true,

                                Em

I just don't want to know how it ends.

                                  C                                    D

You'd still have my heart in the palm of your hand,

                            Bm                       Em

I'd still look like a fool in front your friends,

             A                         G                       - C               D                 G      

yeah, I wish somehow, I didn't know now,        what I didn't know then.

2. I've always said what I don't know, couldn't hurt as bad as leaving you

 

    turns out I knew what I was thinkin', it ain't an easy thing to do.

                                             C                                                       D

    Well, I guess I should be going, I sure found out too much to stay,

                                             C      - D                                   G

    please, don't say you’re sorry,        I might wait another day.
