[Verse 1]

 D                  Em7 
Poor old granddad, I laughed at all his words,

 D                             Em7 
I thought he was a bitter man, he spoke of women's ways,

 D                                      Em7 
They'll trap you, and they'll use you, and before you even know,

 D                                      Em7 
For love is blind and your far to kind, don't ever let it show.



[Chorus]

 D                             Em7  G 
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger, 

 D                             Em7  G 
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was stronger.

[Verse 2]

 D                                Em7  
The Can Can's such a pretty show, they'll steal your heart away,

 D                                    Em7 
But backstage's back on earth again, the dressing rooms are great,

 D                                            Em7 
They'll come on strong and it ain't to long, before they make you feel a man,

 D                                        Em7 
But love is blind and you soon will find, your just a boy again.



[Chorus]

 D                             Em7  G  
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger,

 D                             Em7  G 
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was stronger.

[Verse 3]

 D                                         Em7 
When you want her lips, you get her cheek, makes you wonder where you are,

 D                                            Em7 
If you want some more, and she's fast asleep, leaves you twinklin' with the stars,

 D                   Em7 
Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say,

 D                                 Em7 
You'll have to learn just like me, and that's the hardest way.



[Chorus]

 D                             Em7  G 
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger,

 D                             Em7  G 
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was stronger.
