Simak lirik dan chord lagu "I Told You So" dari Randy Travis berikut ini.
A
Suppose I called you up tonight,
C#m
And told you that I loved you,
D E A
And suppose I said "I wanna come back home."
D A E F#m C#m
And suppose I cried and said "I think I finally learned my lesson
B7 E
And I'm tired of spending all my time alone
A C#m
If I told you that I realized you're all I ever wanted
D E A
And it's killing me to be so far away
D A E F#m C#m
Would you tell me that you loved me too and would we cry together?
B7 E
Or would you simply laugh at me and say
[Chorus]
A C#m D
"I told you so, oh I told you so
Bm E
I told you someday you would come crawling back
A E
and asking me to take you in
A C#m D
I told you so, but you had to go,
Bm
Now I found somebody new
E A
and you will never break my heart in two again."
[Verse 2]
A
If I got down on my knees
C#m
And told you I was yours forever
D E A
Would you get down on yours too and take my hand?
D
Would we get that old time feeling
A E F#m C#m
Would we laugh and talk for hours
B7 E
The way we did when our love first began
A
Would you tell me that you've missed me too
C#m
And that you've been so lonely
D E A
And you've waited for the day that I returned
D
And we'd live and love forever
A E F#m C#m
And that I'm your one and only
B7 E
Or would you say the tables finally turned
And would you say
[Chorus]
A C#m D
"I told you so, oh I told you so
Bm E
I told you someday you would come crawling back
A E
and asking me to take you in
A C#m D
I told you so, but you had to go,
Bm
Now I found somebody new
E A
and you will never break my heart in two again
