If You Knew What I Knew chords

If You Knew What I Knew

• Am

This is a beautiful song by the Backstreet Boys... I tried to figure out the chords... Here it is
and for the strumming pattern.., listen to the song carefully, towards the end 
(when Brian Littrel sings "If you knew what I knew my baby, you would never have 
said what you said..") you can hear the clear strumming. That is the exact 
strumming for the whole song. Enjoy

Intro: Am G  Am G  Am G  F
                  Oh yeah
Am G     Am        G        
   7 am, thinking ‘bout you
Am           G     
Wondering if the thoughts I’m feeling
       F
You’re feeling too
Am           G
 Like a new born child,
Am         G 
Soft to the touch
Am           G          F
 Baby is it possible to love someone so much, mmm 
Am  G          Am
   I wish I may
      G
I wish I might
Am       G
  Be that certain someone
    F
You wish for every night ahhh

Chorus:
       C
If you knew what I knew 
             Am
You wouldn’t say what you said (say what you said)
       F
If you knew what I knew 
          G
We’d be together instead
       C
Of you breaking my heart
     Am
Over things that aren’t true
Dm           G       
  My lady yes (My lady, yes my lady) 
                   
If you knew what I knew

Am G   Am G   Am G   F
Ahh, ohh
 Am G(pause) 
Time passes by
Am        G
   The only tears I cry
Am                G                 F
   Are filled with disillusion and fears I have inside
Am            G
 Like a lost soul
 Am                G
I feel like I’m all alone (all alone) 
 Am            G
If only I could feel your pain
  F
Within your heart of stone (oh, ohh)

Am  G          Am
   I wish I may
      G
I wish I might
Am       G
  Be that certain someone
    F
You wish for every night!

Chorus:(same chords)
If you knew what I knew
You wouldn’t say what you said (say what you said)
If you knew what I knew 
We’d be together instead
Of you breaking my heart
Over things that aren’t true
My lady, yes

                       Dm
If you knew what I knew 
           G                Am     G
Then you wouldn’t have to go...away
                       Dm
If you knew what I knew (oooh)
            G                F
Then you would be here to stay (always......)
               G
Right by my side always

Chorus:(same chords)
If you knew what I knew 
You wouldn’t say what you said (say what you said)
If you knew what I knew 
We’d be together instead
Of you breaking my heart
Over things that aren’t true
My lady
Yes, my lady (if you knew)

Outro:(same chorus chords till the end)
If you knew what I knew, my baby 
You would have never have said what you said
If you knew what I knew, my baby
We would be together instead 
(2x)

Girl if you knew (say what you said)
If you only knew

If you knew what I knew, my baby
We would be together instead 

(Girl if you knew)
If you knew what I knew, my baby
(You know you will always...)
You would have never have said what you said
If you knew what I knew, my baby
We would be together instead 

(Girl if you you knew)
If you knew what I knew, my baby (say what you said)
You would have never have said what you said
If you knew what I knew, my baby
We would be together instead 

(Chorus to fade)
