[Abm] What if I can knock on your front door some night?
Would you open the window and drop me down [Gb] again?
[Abm] What if I can knock on [B] your bedpost that same night?
[Abm] Would you open up your heart and try to get the best of me?
[Gb] [Abm]
[Gb]
[Abm] What if I can knock on your brain the next day?
Ask me truth and you love me [B] honestly?
[Ab] Should you build up your bed walls and [B] try to hide behind that smile?
Or would you try to pull [E] the wool right over me?
[B]
[Abm] What if [E] I can knock at your [Gb] door?
[Abm] What if [E] I can knock at your [Gb] house?
And
[Abm] what if I can kick it, ask you [B] to love me?
And [Abm] I came on strong, would you think [E] that there's something wrong [B] with me?
[Abm] Could it be your fear [B] of trying [Gb] something real?
Or just a [Abm] freak touch of a guy like me?
What if [E] I can knock at your [Gb] house?
What if I can [Abm] knock at your [E]
house?
[Gb]
What if [Abm] I can knock at your house?
[Gb]
Or [Abm] would you push it, say I love [Gb] you?
[Abm]
[E]
[Abm] Would you say it one more time?
I'm like a schoolboy, and we never have to ever [Gb] act like that.
[Ab]
[Gb] [Abm] [Gb] [Ab]
What if [E] I can't turn [Gb] back just a few weeks?
And [Ab] say I miss [E] what you've got [Gb] in mind to be?

What if it's knocking on the window tonight?
[Ab]
That it's [Abm] probably [Gb]
me?
[Abm]
Let it be [E] known that [Abm] we're just a pair of stumbling dice.
And the outcome of all these guesses is [Gb] hard to say.
[Abm]
What if [E] I can knock [Gb]
at your [Abm]
[E] [Gb]

house?
What if [E] I can knock at [Gb]
[Abm] your house?

[E] knock at [Gb]
your house?
Or [Abm] would you like to say I love you [Gb]
tonight?
