If I’d Only Known  (zack26)

(J. Fair)
from Jad Fair and Daniel Johnston: It’s Spooky

same chords as “It’s Spooky”

A     D    (throughout the whole song)

If I’d only known I could have said something sooner
But I didn’t, so I didn’t, now it’s done
The last thing I’d do was the first thing you did
What we once had is all gone

I see it all a little too clear
Too clear for my own good
Let sleeping dogs lie is a good rule I’m told
I only wish that they would

If I’d only known I could-a said something sooner
I really did think it would last
Now it’s too late, it’s over and now
My future is all in my past
