Am F Fadd9* G
What if I came knocking on your front door some night?
Am F Fadd9* G
Would you open the window and drop me down the key?
Am F Fadd9* G
What if I came knocking on your bedpost that same night?
[Am]Would you open up your [F]heart or try to get the[G] best of me?
Am F Fadd9* G
Am F Fadd9* G
What if I came knocking on your brain the next day
Am F Fadd9* G
And ask for your truth and your love and your honesty?
Am F Fadd9* G
Would you build up your big walls and try to hide behind that smile
[Am]Or would you try to p[F]ull the wool right over me[G]?
Am F Fadd9* G
So what if I came knocking?
Am F Fadd9* G
So what if I came knocking?
Am F Fadd9* G
So what if I came kicking scared you a little bit
Am F Fadd9* G
And came on strong would you think
Am F Fadd9* G
That there's something wrong with me?
Am F Fadd9* G
Or could it be your fear, of trying something real
[Am]Or just afraid to tou[F]ch a guy like m[G]e?
Am F Fadd9* G
So what if I came knocking?
Am F Fadd9* G
So what if I came knocking?
[Am](Drums)
N.C.
So let's just say it worked out like a storybook dream
N.C.
And we lived happily ever after

Fa la la la

Am F Fadd9* G
What if I came crying after just a few weeks
Am F Fadd9*
And said I misread my heart
It's not really me[G]ant to be?
Am F Fadd9* G
Am F Fadd9* G
So if you hear some knocking on your window tonight
Am F Fadd9* G
You can bet that it's,huh, probably me
Am F Fadd9* G
But let it be known that we're just a pair of tumbling dice
[Am]And the outcome of [F]these cr*p shoots is [G]hard to see
Am F Fadd9* G
So what if I came knocking?
Am F Fadd9* G
So what if I came knocking?
Am F Fadd9* G
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knocking
Am F Fadd9* G
Kick, kick, kick
Am F Fadd9* G
What if I came knocking?
[Am]On your front porc[F]h tonight,[G] tonight?
G (x6) Am
