Tom: Em
G
Well the first time that I saw her
C G
Standing in the middle of the road
C G
Eyes as bright as Christmas lights
G D
Wearing someone else’s clothes
G
I did my best to ignore her
C G
But Ignoring my best pretty soon
C G
Spent the night all tangled tight
D C G
In an armchair in my friends front room.
[Chorus]
C D G
I said darling you know, darling you know I cant stay.
Bb C G G/F#
Cause I’ve given my heart and my word to a girl far away.
G Bm C Cm
I fell weak, as she kissed my cheek, and sighed when I heard her say
Em D C D G
Never knew I could get my heart broken, in less than a day.
[Verse 2]
G
Oh and the next time that I saw her,
C G
Must have been a year or more.
C G
Face stained with mascara
G D
Shivering outside my door
G
I did my best to assure her,
C G
But assurance ain’t easy to give
C G
You've never been sure of anything much
D C G
You get less so the longer you live
[Chorus 2]
C D G
I said darling you know, darling you know I cant stay.
Bb C G G/F#
Cause I’ve given my heart and my word to a girl far away.
G Bm
I spoke soft, pretended to cough
C Cm
Inside when I heard her say.
Em D C D G
Never knew I could get my heart broken in so many ways
C C G G C C G G
Ooooh ohhhh ohhh ohh
[Verse 3]
G
Well the last time that I saw her
C G
Standing in the pouring rain
C G
Hair looked a little shorter
G D
Everything else looked the same
G
I coulda told her that I adored her
C G
She coulda said she felt the same way
C G D C Em
We just smiled cause sometimes words aren’t the right words to say
C G D C G
We just smiled cause sometimes words aren’t the right words to say
