Am                  F  Fadd9*   
What if I came knocking on your 
            G
front door some night?
Am                    F  Fadd9* 
Would you open the window and 
                  G
drop me down the key?
Am                    F  Fadd9* 
What if I came knocking on your 
                  G
bedpost that same night?
Am                     F         
Would you open up your heart or 
             G
try to get the best of me?


Am F Fadd9* G


Am                   F Fadd9*   
What if I came knocking on your 
             G
brain the next day
Am                  F Fadd9*    
And ask for your truth and your 
                 G
love and your honesty?
Am                   F   Fadd9* 
Would you build up your big 
                     G
walls and try to hide behind that 
smile
Am                   F           
Or would you try to pull the wool
              G
 right over me?


Am                   F  Fadd9*   G
So what if I came knocking?

Am                   F  Fadd9*   G
So what if I came knocking?


Am                   F  Fadd9*  
So what if I came kicking scared
         G
 you a little bit
Am                  F Fadd9*    
And came on strong would you 
     G
think
Am                  F Fadd9*    
That there's something wrong 
        G
with me?
Am                  F Fadd9*    
Or could it be your fear, of 
            G
trying something real
Am                   F           
Or just afraid to touch a guy 
   G
like me?


Am                   F  Fadd9*   G
So what if I came knocking?
Am                   F  Fadd9*   G
So what if I came knocking?

N.C.
So let's just say it worked out like
 a storybook dream
N.C.
And we lived happily ever after
            G (x6)

Am               F Fadd9*        
What if I came crying after just a 
 G
few weeks
Am                 F  Fadd9*
And said I misread my heart
                  G
It's not really meant to be?

Am F Fadd9* G

Am                  F Fadd9*    
So if you hear some knocking on 
              G
your window tonight
Am                  F Fadd9*    
You can bet that it's,huh, 
         G
probably me
Am                  F Fadd9*    
But let it be known that we're 
              G
just a pair of tumbling dice
Am                 F             
And the outcome of these crap 
       G
shoots is hard to see


Am                   F  Fadd9*   G
So what if I came knocking?
Am                   F  Fadd9*   G
So what if I came knocking?


Am            F Fadd9*          
Knock, knock, knock, knock, 
               G
knock, knocking
Am       F Fadd9*    G
Kick, kick, kick
Am             F Fadd9*   G
What if I came knocking?
Am                F         G
On your front porch tonight, 
tonight?
