  I didn't mean           to treat you so bad  
  Fb              B/D#          F#  
  You shouldn't take it so personal  
      B             Fb/B B                Fb B  
  I didn't mean           to make you so sad  
  Fb         B/D#              F#  
  You just happened to be there, that's all  
     
     
  [Bridge]  
  G#m                              D#m  
   When I saw you say "goodbye" to your friend and smile  
  C#m                            B  
   I thought that it was well understood  
  G#m                           D#m  
      That you'd be comin' back in a little while  
  C#m                             Fb                             F#  
   I didn't know that you were sayin' "goodbye" for goo-----ood  
     
     
  [Chorus]  
         B           F#/A#      Fb/G#             B/F#  
  But, sooner or later, one of us must know  
  Fb          B/D#                  F#  
   You just did what you're supposed to do

  Sooner or later, one of us must know

  I couldn't see        what you could show me  
         Fb          B/D#         F#  
  Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid  
      B             Fb/B B                 Fb     B  
  I couldn't see         how you could know me

  But you said you knew me and I believed you did  
     
     
  [Bridge]  
  G#m                   D#m  
   When you whispered in my ear  
  C#m                                    B  
   And asked me if I was leavin' with you or her  
  G#m                       D#m  
   I didn't realize just what I did hear  
  C#m                      Fb                  F#  
   I didn't realize how young you we------re

  I couldn't see         when it started snowin'

  Your voice was all    that I heard

  [Bridge]  
        G#m                              D#m  
  And then you told me later, as I apologized  
                       C#m                               B  
  That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm  
  G#m                       D#m  
   An' I told you, as you clawed out my eyes  
          C#m                             Fb            F#  
  That I never really meant to do you any ha-----rm
