Recorded by The Red Clay Strays
Album: Single (2026)

(Non Capo)

(Verse 1)
(Em) You caught me at a (D)crossroads, you (C)caught me in the nick of (G)time
(Em) On the ledge with (D)one foot hanging, just (C)waiting for a sign (G)
I was (Em)down and out, running (D)with the wrong crowd
I was (C)walking through every (G)wrong door
I (Em)can't imagine all the (D)trouble I'd be if you (C)never made me (G)yours

(Chorus)
If I (G)didn't know (C)you, I wouldn't (D)know how to (G)love
I wouldn't (Em)know what it feels (C)like to be (D)someone's only one
If I (G)never saw your (C)eyes, it's like I'd (D)never see the (Em)sun
What would I (C)do if I (D)didn't know you? (G)

(Verse 2)
(Em) Some people never (D)make it, trying to (C)make it on their (G)own
(Em) Another man's just an (D)island until a (C)good woman calls him (G)home
Well, (Em)you found me, (D)lost, I see, (C)tossed and turned a-(G)round
(Em) Held on through the (D)ebb and flow, yeah, you (C)ain't putting me (G)down

(Chorus)
If I didn't know (C)you, I wouldn't (D)know how to (G)love
I wouldn't (C)know what it feels like to be (D)someone's only one
If I (G)never saw your (C)eyes, it's like I'd (D)never see the (Em)sun
What would I (C)do if I (D)didn't know (G)you?

(Bridge)
(Eb) I can't see behind of my road
(Dm) I can't change my yesterdays
(F) Well, sometimes I just wonder
(D)Who I'd be today?

(Chorus)
If I didn't know (C)you, I wouldn't (D)know how to (G)love
I wouldn't (Em)know what it feels (C) like to be (D)someone's only one
If I (G)never saw your (C)eyes, it's like I'd (D)never see the (Em)sun
What would I (C)do if I (D)didn't know (Em)you?
Oh, oh, oh, what would I (C)do if I (D)didn't know you?
