You'll Never Know What You're Missin'
Recorded by Ricky Nelson
Written by Baker Knight

G                                                            G7
Have you ever wanted to steal a kiss have you ever wanted to try
        C
But you let her get you scared to death and got you so mad you could cry
         D7                                    A7
Well I'm sorry for you but I really don't know why
             C                      D7               G   C        G
Cause you'll never know what you're missin' till you try till you try

                                                                   G7
Have you ever wanted to hold her tight but you couldn't get up the nerve
       C
So you waited until she had to go and got just what you deserved
        D7                                A7
Did she smile at you and you never did no why
            C                      D7               G   C        G
Well you'll never know what you're missin' till you try till you try

       C                                       G   C        G
You'll never know what you're missin' till you try till you try
       A7                                       D7
You'll never know what you're missin' that's no lie that's no lie

G                                                               G7
So you'd better listen to what I say if you want some kissin' tonight
    C
Go ahead and hold her close to you and kiss her with all of your might
           D7                                               A7
You better give her the word before she leaves you high and dry
             C                      D7               G   C        G
Cause you'll never know what you're missin' till you try till you try

       C                                       G   C        G
You'll never know what you're missin' till you try till you try
       A7                                       D7
You'll never know what you're missin' that's no lie that's no lie

Repeat #4

             C                      D7               G   C        G
Cause you'll never know what you're missin' till you try till you try
