  C                         F   C
I didn't mean to treat you so bad
F             C        G        G9
You shouldn't take it so personal
  C                       F   C
I didn't mean to make you so sad
F        C              G               G9
You just happened to be there, that's all
Am                                   Em
When I saw you say "goodbye" to your friend and smile
Dm                         C
I thought that it was well understood
Am                             Em           Dm
That you'd be coming back in a little while
                                     F              G  G9
I didn't know that you were saying "goodbye" for good
     C         G      F              C
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
F             C                   G          G9
That you just did what you're supposed to do
C         G      F              C
Sooner or later, one of us must know
F             C              G9
That I really did try to get close to you
  C                           F    C
I couldn't see what you could show me
F             C              G        G9
Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
  C                       F   C
I couldn't see how you could know me
F        C              G               G9
But you said you knew me and I believed you did
Am                                   Em
When you whispered in my ear
Dm                         C
And asked me if I was leavin' with you or her
Am                             Em     Dm
I didn't realize just what I did hear
                         F         G  G9
I didn't realize how young you were
     C         G      F              C
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
F             C                   G          G9
That you just did what you're supposed to do
C         G      F              C
Sooner or later, one of us must know
F             C              G9
That I really did try to get close to you
  C                        F   C
I couldn't see when it started snowin'
F             C        G        G9
Your voice was all that I heard
  C                        F   C
I couldn't see where we were goin'
F             C        G        G9
But you said you knew an' I took your word
Am                                   Em
And then you told me later, as I apologized
Dm                                  C
That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
Am                             Em        Dm
And I told you, as you clawed out my eyes
                            F          G    G9
That I never really meant to do you any harm
     C         G      F              C
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
F             C                   G          G9
That you just did what you're supposed to do
C         G      F              C
Sooner or later, one of us must know
F             C              G9
That I really did try to get close to you
