Song:   If I Had You

Artist: Joe Purdy

Album: This American (2010)





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
