_ _ _ I thought I knew the girl so well
_ _ If she was sad, I [C] couldn't tell
I miss the point, _ I miss the signs
_ _ [F] So if she's gone, the fault [C] is mine
I [Dm] know, I know, _ _ a whole lot of little [C] things
And _ [Dm] even though I confessed them one by [C] one
She would still [G] be gone
Her eyes [C] were blue, her hair was long
At sixty [F]-four, she [G] was born in [C] Baton Rouge
Her favorite song was in [F] my lap
I [G] memorized her every [Am] move
I knew [C] her books, her car, [F] her clothes
But [C] I paid no [F] attention to what mattered [C] most
I never asked, _ she never said
And _ [F] when she [F] cried, I [C] turned my head
She dreamed her dreams behind closed doors
_ _ [F] That made them easy to [C] ignore
And [Dm] I know, I know, I missed the forest for [C] the trees
Now all [Dm] I had to show _ _ was when she walked out [C] the door
Her cold face and nothing [G] more _
Her [C] eyes were blue, her [Em] hair was long
At sixty [F]-four, she [G] was born in [C] Baton Rouge
Her favorite song was in [F] my lap
I [G] memorized her [Am] every move
I knew [C] her books, her car, [F] her clothes _
[C] But I paid no [F] attention to what mattered [C] most
Her eyes were blue, her hair was long
At [F] sixty-four, she [G] was born in [C] Baton Rouge
Her father's told, her [F] mother's gone
She moved [G] out west when she [C] was two
The way she laughed, the way [F] she loved
Oh [G] my God, what did [C] I do? _
