Chords for Shinedown - "If You Only Knew" (Acoustic Backstage @ Municipal)

[C] When we were starting [G] the writing [Am] process for this record, because this one was probably [Em] the longest album
As [Am] far as us to actually do all the writing, [C] get the demoing done, it was about 18 months of work
_ But [G] early on I got this phone call
[Am] _ And a person on the other end of the phone said I just want to let you know
That [G] you're gonna be a dad
so my heart pretty much [F] fell on the [Bb] ground [G] and
I attribute the fact [Am] that I'm still here
Through my son because he saved my life
He saved me not only from my vanity [G] but he
_ He [C] allowed me to know that it was no longer about [G] me
So [Am] this is the song that came from that.
This is a song called Adelita _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ If _ _
_ _ [Em] _ [Am] _ you only knew I'm hanging by a [C] thread the web's been you
_ _ [G] _ [Am] If you only knew I sacrificed my [C] beating heart before I'd lose it all
[D] _ I still hold on to the [G] letters
And you won't return
Cuz you helped me live and learn
God is _ 403
And I [Am] can't sleep without you next to [G] me I toss and turn like a sea
If I drown tonight bring me back to [Am] life
Breathe your breath in [G] me the only thing I [C] still [Em] believe
Yeah, _ [Am] _ _ _ [C] you
If you only _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ If [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ [Am] _
you only
How many times I [C] counted all the words that
_ _ [Em] If [Am] _
you only
How I refused [Em] to let you [C] know _ I
_ _ [D] _
_ Don't
Regret any days I [G] spent a night to be shared _ unless _ Madison's God is
_ 403 and I [Am] can't sleep without you next to [G] me
I toss and turn like the sea if I drown tonight
Bring me back to [Am] life
Breathe your breath in [G] me the only thing that I still
[F] _ [C] _ [G] If [Am] _ _ _ [C] you
_ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ If [C]
you
_ [G] _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
[F] I _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ [Dm] still _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
If you help me live and learn
God's _ 403 [Bm] and I [Am] can't sleep without you
[G] _
Toss and turn like the sea if I drown tonight
Bring me back [Am] to life
Breathe your breath [G] in me the only thing that I still _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [G] Is
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [G] _ [Am]
Yeah, _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ [N] you _
