[G]I wish I had a [D7]dollar for every [C]time I was unkind
I [G]wish I'd had an [C]answer for all the [G]questions on her [D7]mind
I [G]wish I'd had a [D7]dime for all the [C]times she needed me
I [G]wish I'd rea[C]lized but I was [D7]much too blind to [G]see
All she [C]wanted was to [G]love me but all I [C]did was turn [G]away
If I'd [C]known how much she [G]needed me [D7]she might be here today
And if [C]I'd only been more [G]open and [C]understood her [G]ways
She [C]might be in my [G]arms tonight [D7]but who am I so [G]say
If I'd only been more [D7]loving when she [C]needed a best friend
If [G]I'd only patched up [C]pieces that she [G]needed me to [D7]mend
If [G]I'd seen her troubled [D7]heart and figured [C]out just what to do
She [G]might be laying [C]here tonight [D7]and saying I love [G]you
All she [C]wanted was to [G]love me but all I [C]did was turn [G]away
If I'd [C]known how much she [G]needed me [D7]she might be here today
And if [C]I'd only been more [G]open and [C]understood her [G]ways
She [C]might be in my [G]arms tonight [D7]but who am I so [G]say

I wish I'd realized but I was much too blind to see
All she wanted was to love me but all I did was turn away
If I'd known how much she needed me she might be here today
And if I'd only been more open and understood her ways
She might be in my arms tonight but who am I so say
If I'd only been more loving when she needed a best friend
If I'd only patched up pieces that she needed me to mend
