I Misunderstood

Tom: Dm

Gm Dm Gm C Csus C
Dm        Bb             C
She said, darling I'm in love with your mind
Dm          Bb           C
The way you care for me, it's so kind
Dm      Bb      C                      G    Gsus G
Love to see you again, wish I had more time
Dm      Bb              C
She was laughing as she brushed my cheek
Dm            Bb              C
Why don't you call me, angel, maybe next week
Dm      Bb              C                 G
Promise now, cross your heart and hope to die

[Chorus]

        But I misunderstood
        But I misunderstood
        But I misunderstood
  G                           C
I thought she was saying good luck
                   Dm    Bb  C
She was saying goodbye
Riff A  /Bb
        But I misunderstood
        But I misunderstood
        But I misunderstood
  G                           C
I thought she was saying good luck
                   Dm    Bb  C
She was saying goodbye

Gm Dm Gm C Csus C
Dm        Bb             C
Things I try to put shine in her eyes
Dm          Bb           C
Wire wheels and shimmering things
Dm      Bb      C                      G    Gsus G
Wild nights when the whole world seemed to fly
Dm      Bb              C
She said, the thing that's so unique
Dm            Bb              C
When we're together we don't have to speak
Dm      Bb              C                 G
We'll always be such good friends, you and I

[Chorus]
She was saying goodbye
She was saying goodbye
She was saying goodbye
