			  " HOW WAS I TO KNOW"

Intro: G C D G   G C D 
G           C                  G
My world revolved around you
G                               C      D    G
Every word was a promise I was hangin' on 
G              C              G 
Swept up inside a whirlwind
G                               C          D
I just couldn't see the end till you were gone
    C              D
I thought I would fall apart
C                                  D
With shattered dreams and a broken heart
C                  D
Scramblin' in the dark
----------
Chorus:
             G
How was I to know
              
That I'd be okay
                    C           G        D 
Thought I'd lose it all when you walked away 
             G 
How was I to know
  C               G
I would be this strong
              C      G      D
I had what it takes all along
             G C D G   G C D G
How was I to know 
----------
G          C             G 
What I was so afraid of 
                            C       D     G 
Turned out to be my freedom in disguise
             C                G 
Now I know what I'm made of 
                   C                D  
Guess it just took some time to realize
C                 D
I was blind I couldn't tell
C                      D
Put too much faith in someone else 
C                D
I gave up on myself      

--Repeat Chorus--

--= Guitar Solo =-- Em  C  D  G  Em  C  Em  D
             G (1 Strum)
How was I to know
            C (1 Strum)  
That I'd be okay
                   G (1 Strum)            D
Thought I'd lose it all when you walked away 
             G
How was I to know 
                  C  
I would be this strong
               G          D  
I had what it takes all along
             G  C  D  G
How was I to know
             G  C  D  G
How was I to know
