   And I should have known better
  A4               A7          Dm
To lie with one as beautiful as you.
C                            Bb
   Yeah, I should have known better
  A4               A7          Dm
To take a chance on ever losing you.
       Gm7                     Bb9/C
But I thought you'd understand, can you forgive me?

F/C  Bb             C            F/C
 I saw you walking by the other day.
F/C  Bb              C              Dm       C      Bb      A
I know that you saw me, you turned away and I was lost.

    F/C        Bb             C              F/C
You see: I've never loved no one as much as you.
     Bb                C               Dm       C      Bb     C
I've fooled around but tell me now just who is hurting who?

should have known better,

     F/C       Bb             C              F/C
It's true, I took our love for granted all along.
    Bb         C                  Dm       C           Bb     A
And trying to explain where I went wrong, I just don't known.
    F/C      Bb               C              F/C
I cry but tears don't seem to help me carry on.
Bb                C                   Dm       C           Bb     C
Now there is no chance you'll come back home, got too much pride.
