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                     F                      G
Would you open up your heart or try to get the 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                   F                         G
Or would you try to pull the wool right over me?
 
 
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                   F              G
Or just afraid to touch a guy like me?
 
 
Am                   F  Fadd9*   G
So what if I came knocking?
Am                   F  Fadd9*   G
So what if I came knocking?

N.C.
So let's just say it worked out like a storybook dream
N.C.
And we lived happily ever after
            G (x6)
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
                  G
It's not really meant 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                 F                    G
And the outcome of these crap shoots is 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                F         G
On your front porch tonight, tonight?
 
G (x6) Am
