F
Were you ever so in love
            Am                        Dm
You couldnt wait to get to sleep and dream
                             G      Gm   C
About the one you wish was there beside you
        F                  Am
In the past few days I've grown
              Dm
To love your giggles on the phone
            G     Gm   C
And how we hug so nicely

Chorus:
C             Dm               A#
And from the first time that I saw you
        G
Had I known you better then
            A
I would've said those three old words
              Dm               A#
And from the first time that I saw you
        F        C
Had I known you better then

Now I'm gonna move away,
another town another crazy day
Ooh I want to stay and maybe hang around you
Call it luck
Call it fate
Call it a shame that we have met so late
And loved so lightly

Chorus:
And from the first time that I saw you
Had I known you better then
I would've said those three old words
And from the first time that I saw you
Had I known you better then

F                 Am      Dm
Were you ever so much in love
             F                         G
You couldnt wait to get to sleep and dream
                            C
About the one you wish was right there beside you

Chorus:
And from the first time that I saw you
Had I known you better then
I would've said those three old words
And from the first time I saw you
Had I known you better then

Had I known you better then
Had I known had I known you better
Had I known had I known you better
Had I known had I known you better
