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? Am Drums 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
