        Em    C            Em     C 
I would never have been in such a rush 
        Em    C          Em     C 
I would never have tried to control 
        Em    C               Em   C 
I would never have worn such 'fear lenses' 
        Em    C            Em     C 
I would never have held on so tightly 
 
(Em   C) 
I would have kept my boundaries set 
My loving no?s, my unwavering yes?s 
Risked abandonment and stood by that 
And thereby felt constant connect 
 
     Em             C                 G                  D 
This fountain of regret, this looking back with twenty-twenty 
Em            C                G               D 
Torturous hindsight if i knew then what i know now 
      Em            C                 G              D 
This mountain of remorse won?t repeat with my understanding 
     Em                C               G               D 
This wouldn?t have happened if i knew then what i know now 
 
(Em   C) 
I would?ve gone slower 
Pushed infrequent 
Would not have rushed into such commitment 
I would?ve shown restraint as my feet got wet 
I would?ve baby-stepped into intimate 
 
(Em   C   G   D) 
This fountain of regret, this looking back with twenty-twenty 
This torturous hindsight if i knew then what i know now 
This mountain of remorse won?t repeat with my understanding 
This wouldn?t have happened if i knew then what i know now 
 
(Em   C) 
I would?ve known much more 
Known that time was all we had for future depth to unfold 
I would?ve had more faith at every step 
I would?ve kept intact through the whole process 
 
(Em   C   G   D) 
Oh this fountain of regret is looking back with twenty-twenty 
Torturous hindsight if i knew then what i know now 
This mountain of remorse won?t repeat with my understanding 
This wouldn?t have happened if i knew then what i know now
