[Verse 1]
D Em
Poor old Granda, I laughed at all his words
D Em
I thought he was a bitter man, who spoke like women's ways
D Em
They'll trap you and they'll use you, and before you even know
D Em
For love is blind and you're far too kind, don't ever let it show
[Chorus]
D Em G
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger
D Em G
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was stronger

D Em
The Can-Can's such a pretty show, it steals your heart away
D Em
The back stage back on earth again, the dressing rooms are grey
D Em
They come on strong and it ain't too long, for to make you feel a man
D Em
But love is blind and you soon will find, you're just a boy again
[Chorus]
D Em G
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger
D Em G D G
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was stronger

Oh yeah oh yeah ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
[Verse 3]
D
When you want her lips, you get her cheek
Em
Makes you wonder where you are
D
If you want some more then she's fast asleep
Em
Leaves you twinkling with the stars
D Em
Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say
D Em
You have to learn just like me, and that's the hardest way
[Chorus]
D Em G
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger
D Em G
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was stronger
D Em G
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger

I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was stronger
