[Intro]
G7  G6  G  G/A  G/B x4

[Verse 1]
GA little creek you could spit across
C/GWell, Jimmy and me each took one more toss
EmOh, our spinners bright in the evening air
D D/C G/B D/APeople always said, "There ain't no fish in there"
GWell, grown-ups they ain't always right
C'Cause Jimmy and me walked home slow that night
EmWell, right down Main Street in our PF Flyers
D D/C G/B D/AWith two five pound bass making grown men liars
[Chorus 1]
GAnd Jimmy, if I had known
C/GI might have stopped fishing right then
Em It's just as well we don't know when things
D D/C G/B D/A GWill never be that good again, mmm
[Interlude] G7 G6 G G/A G/B x4 [Verse 2]
GHayride on an Autumn night
C/GWell, we was 15 if I remember right
EmWe were far apart at the start of the ride
D D/C G/B D/AYeah, but somehow we ended up side by side
GOh, we hit a bump and she grabbed my arm
C/GAnd the night was as cold as her lips were warm
EmAnd I shivered as her hand held mine
D D/C G/B D/AYeah, and then I kissed her one more time
[Chorus 2]
GAnd Jane, if I had known
C/GI might have stopped kissing right then
Em It's just as well we don't know when things
D D/C G/B D/A GWill never be that good again, mmm
[Instrumental] G7 G6 G G/A G/B x4 G C/G Em D D/C G/B D/A x2 G [Verse 3]
GShe was older than me, I guess
C/GAnd summer was invented for her to wear that dress
EmOh I, I knew about risk and she knew about proof
D D/C G/B D/AAnd that night she took me up on the roof
GWe could see the lights of the little towns
C/GWe could watch the August stars come down
EmOh, the shooting stars and the meteorites
D D/C G/B D/AYeah, we went on a ride through the sky that night
[Chorus 3]
GAnd, oh, if I had known
C/GI'd do it all over again
EmSome things just get better and better
D D/C G/B D/A GAnd better than they already been, mmm
[Outro] G7 G6 G G/A G/B x3 G
