How Could I Know (Love Was To Go)

Tom: G

                     G
It brings me sadness
                                          D
Just remembering getting home
                                 Em
From a tiring day of work
                                        B
She would hold me very tight
                             F#     D
And kiss me tenderly
                G                                           D
We sat while, and she'd tell me all the news
                                        Em
How she took the kids to school 
                                           B
And she found them at the zoo
                                          F#         D
Thorowing peanuts to the bears

                  G                                                    D
Oh, this remembrance keeps reflecting on my mind
                                               Em
When the days ran calm and fine
                                  B
And I had her by my side
                                 F#      D
Swearing love eternally

        G     C                 G
But, hey! How could I know
C                  G          D
Love was to go after all this time?
G      C                 G
Hey! How could I see
C               G                     D
She would leave me after all this time?

              G                                    D
Little by little our sky was getting darker
                                          Em
Our dreams were running farther
                                   B                                          F#      D
Our smiles becoming harder, in the distance of us two
                 G                                            D
Our loving glaces very rarely they were meeting
                                        Em
We were always, always fleeing
                                       B
From a love we felt was ending
                                 F#        D
Still we never said a word

        G    C                  G
But, hey! How could I know
C                  G           D
Love was to go after all this time?
G      C                 G
Hey! How could I see
C               G                 D
She would leave me after this time?

                       G                                               D
Then one fine morning with a torn and acking heart
                                     Em
We decided we should part
                                 B
For it was late ro restart
                            F#      D
A love that never was

               G                                                  D
I still can picture: you were standing at the railing
                                     Em
Saw your taxi that was waiting
                                            B                                         F#       D
Held a tear when you were waving your very last good-bye

                       G                                        D
The kids were with me as your taxi drove away
                                   Em
I had nothing more to say
                                  B
So I put them all to sleep
