thought I [Am] knew you, [G] I was in for a surprise, I let my [D] love flow from my heart into [E] your eyes.
Then [Am] I found out that [G] there was nothing I could know or [D] guess about you.
You'd go as far as you [E] could go, and it took [F] me years to figure [C] out that there [D] was nothing
I could [E] give to you, [F] years to [C] figure out that there was [D] nothing you would [E] take from [F] me.
And how can [C] I describe the way you [D] slowly put my hope away?
And all of the time I thought [Am] I knew you, [G] [Am] [D]

[E] thought [Am] I knew you, [G] but I wasn't even close.
I had [D] my heart set a little more [E] than it goes, so I thought [Am] I'd show you.
[G] There was no way we could lose, I thought [D] I'd force you to realize [E] and choose.
And it took [F] me years to figure [C] out that there [D] was nothing I could [E] show to you, [F] years to
figure [C] out that you were [D] never really [E] going to choose.
And [F] how can I [C] describe the way I [D] slowly lost my love for you?
And all of the time I thought [Am] I knew you,
