      D#          A#
Oh Oh I, I was a city boy
           G#
Riding to danger's where I'd always run,
  G#m
a boy who had his fun
                 D#
I wouldn't have done
Cm                  Fm
All the things that I've done
      A#        D#
If I knew, one day you would come
G#        G#m       D#
Now baby, now baby, now baby

Oh, oh, oh I, I know it breaks your heart
To picture the only one you want to love
In someone else's arms
But I wouldn't have done
All the things that I have done
If I knew one day you'd come
Now baby (now baby) now baby (now baby)

D#  Fm     G
Ohh baby please
                      Cm
Lets leave the past behind us
         G                        Cm
So that we can go where love will find us,
yeah will find us
             F
I know most girls would leave me
       G#              A#
But I know that you believe me

Baby, I, I wish we were seventeen
So I could give you all the innocence
That you give to me
No, I wouldn't have done
All the things that I've done
If I knew one day you'd come
If I knew one day you'd come
