I was hot

I went to parties a lot Y'know?

I was driving Lamborghinis

Sipping super-dry martinis

In the tiniest bikinis on a yacht

But I was depressed
G
Also completely obsessed
Am
An unhappy beauty queen
A#m
Who dreamed to be Miss Argentina
B7
I had such low self-esteem
I was a mess
Am
So I gave it all up for the netherworld
Em
I've been here forever, girl
D
If I was more clever, girl
G
I would've stuck it out
B7
Knowing what life's about
[BRIDGE]
Am
Pain and joy and suffering
G
Failing but recovering
F#m
I'll tell you another thing
Bm C
Everyone here is alone
Bm7
So if you are breathing
B7
Go home!
[CHORUS]
Em
If I knew then
B7
What I know now

I would have looked within and let love in somehow
Em
If I only knew
Am Em
The truth back then

I wouldn't have had my little "accident"

[VERSE]
B7 Em
Don't be blind
G
You left your whole life behind

See a shrink, Call a priest

Ask the recently deceased
C B7
Death is final and you cannot press rewind
Am
Don't jump when the light is red
Em
Toasters should be used for bread
D
Never smoke cigars in bed
G B7
Nietzsche was right, y'know, to live is to suffer, bro
Am
Don't cheat on the one you wed
G
Never whip a thoroughbred
B7
Angry pygmys shrunk his head
B7 C
Why did it take death to see
B7
Happiness was up to me?
[CHORUS]
Em
If I knew then
B7
What I know now
I would've laughed and danced
Em
And lanced every sacred cow
I thought I knew

But I was wrong

'Cause life is short
Em
But death is super long
I exploded!

I would've crossed every line
And drank all the wine

Before my final bow
F
If I knew (If I knew)
A#m C
The things that now I know
C7
I would ride the highs and cherish the lows
Going, it's a quick trick 'round the rodeo
C C7
So before they lower the curtain, be certain to enjoy the show
Fm
That's what I know!
Life is short but death is long
D#
Here, one minute then it's gone
C#
Thought I knew but I was wrong
F Fm
If I only knew what I know now!
