If I could go back To that day Knowing what I know now If I could have guessed I would run up those stairs to my groom And he'd turn away Away from my ivory dress

Am F C G (Fm) Fsus??

And I'd say, love, I can't explain, but we have to go away. We can elope. It will be nice. Just take a stroll, and catch a train.

F Dm C Dm (Cm)

I have a past And I was once promised to another I left him the day that I met you And he told me I would suffer

So I ran like the wind from my past, into your arms, you were kind, you were adoring. And at last I grew, and at last I knew, I wanted you for the future I planned. Still the man that I had fled would hover behind us like a demon who stood by my grave He waited for the day I was about to get away To make sure I'd never leave again

Standing there, cold and confused, I had to watch, as you found me in the middle of the floor You went mad, and they dragged you away as you screamed that you did not want to live anymore

You refused to leave the house, you wanted to be close to me So I sat by your side as you wept constantly I died over and over as your eyes lost their gleam And though I feared you would join me, that is what I would dream

You started to go outside now and then You started to invite your friends over again It was lovely to see you smile for the first time since I died You were smiling at her, and she made you a lovely bride

So you went on that stroll and got a train It's okay, you had to leave me behind I hope you were happy, I hope that she loved you The way I would have always loved you If I'd known what I know now
