God Only Knows

Lyrics and music by Brian Wilson and Tony Asher

 


F                 Dm            Am              D/C                     G/B 
    If you should ever leave me-  my life would still go on believe me-

                    Cm                  G/B
    The world could show nothing to me-

                       A9/C#            C
    so what good would living do me?

             G/B                      Am7          G        F/C
    God only knows-  what I'd be with-out you.-

              Dm               Am
    I may not always love you-

                         D/C                     G/B
    but as long as there are stars-  above you-

                 Cm                G/B
    you'll never need to doubt it-

                     A9/C#              C  
    I'll make you so sure about it.-

             G/B                        Am7        
    God only knows-    what I'd be with-out you.-


    Bb        C/Bb        Dm        Bdim


    C         Ddim        C        Adim        F


    F        C                           Dm        F
    God only knows-     what I'd be with-out you-


    
    (louder vocal, repeating verse omitting break)


 F           C                           Am7                G/B
    God only knows-     what I'd be with-out you-  God only knows-

             C                   G/B                Am7 
    God only knows-     God only knows-    what I'd be with-out you---

 G/B             N.C.                             C.
    God only -
