[Verse 1]G C 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
C G D
Wearing someone else's clothes
G C
I did my best to ignore her
C G
But Ignoring my best pretty soon
C G
Spent the night all tangled tight
G D G
In an armchair in my friends front room.
[Chorus] C C G
I said darling you know, darling you know I cant stay.
G C G
Cause I've given my heart and my word to a girl far away.
G C G
I fell weak, as she kissed my cheek, and sighed when I heard her say
G C G D G
Never knew I could get my heart broken, in less than a day.
[Verse 2] G C 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
C G D
Shivering outside my door
G C
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
G D G
You get less so the longer you live
[Chorus 2] C C G
She said darling you know, darling you know I can't stay
G C G
Cause Iv given my hear and my word to a boy far away
G C
I spoke soft, pretended to cough
C G
Inside when I heard her say.
G C G 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 C G
Well the last time that I saw her
C G
Standing in the pouring rain
C G
Hair looked a little shorter
C G D
Everything else looked the same
G C
I coulda told her that I adored her
C G
She coulda said she felt the same way
C G D G
We just smiled cause sometimes words aren't the right words to say
C G D G
