E                   A 
I never held your gaze 
E                 A   E 
I never know my place 
        D          A 
Oh, I stare at the eyes 
               E 
Starin' at my face 
                     A 
It always ends in a tie 
E                          A 
There is no needing the divine 
    D         A       E 
I cry at the joke explained

Oh, but if I had known, if I had known

I never smoked my chains 
E                      A 
Whoever measures the crest 
      D       A               E 
Oh, they can have my broken chest 
                   A 
It's a staring contest 
E             A                      
In a hall of mirrors 
         D         A              E 
I sweat tears, but I don't ever cry 

                   D               A 
Oh, but if I had known, if I had known 
           D                E       A     E   A   E 
If I had known, I would've never believed

                    A 
I never knelt at a noose 
E                        A 
My pair perished in the pews 
    D      A             E 
I climbed back into the yoke

It always ends in a tie 
E                          A                   
There is no hitting the design

Oh, but if I had known, if I had known 
           D                E       A 
If I had known, I would've never believed 
E                   A 
I would've never believed 
E                   D     E   A 
I would've never believed
