Verse 1

G                                 C
It was just by chance she came my way
        D7                                G
She was lonesome for the words I tried to say
                                   C
I accepted her the way she came to me
      D7                              G
I was wrong because I knew she wasn’t free

Verse 2

                                   C
I didn’t mean to fall in love with her
    D7                                 G
Sometimes we reach for things we don’t deserve
                                    C
I knew that she belonged to someone else
        D7                            G
But within her arms I couldn’t help myself

Verse 3

  C                                G
I wonder if you know she loves you still
                                  D7
I’m telling you because she never will
  G                                 C
I gave her up because she loves you so
      D7                          G
She’s true to you I wonder if you know

Verse 4

                                     C
The times we’ve been together are so few
          D7                                G
She would pull me close while talking about you
                                   C
Her heart was only searching for a friend
  D7                               G
I fell in love and knew I couldn’t win

Verse 3

  C                                G
I wonder if you know she loves you still
                                  D7
I’m telling you because she never will
  G                                 C
I gave her up because she loves you so
      D7                          G
She’s true to you I wonder if you know
