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

  I couldn't see        what you could show me  
         Eb          A#/D         F  
  Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid  
      A#             Eb/A# A#                 Eb     A#  
  I couldn't see         how you could know me  
            Eb         A#/D               F  
  But you said you knew me and I believed you did  
     
     
  [Bridge]  
  Gm                   Dm  
   When you whispered in my ear  
  Cm                                    A#  
   And asked me if I was leavin' with you or her  
  Gm                       Dm  
   I didn't realize just what I did hear  
  Cm                      Eb                  F  
   I didn't realize how young you we------re  
     
     
  [Chorus]  
         A#           F/A      Eb/G             A#/F

  [Verse]  
      A#             Eb/A# A#                   Eb    A#  
  I couldn't see         when it started snowin'  
         Eb          A#/D F  
  Your voice was all    that I heard  
      A#             Eb/A# A#                 Eb A#  
  I couldn't see         where we were go-in'  
        Eb             A#/D          F  
  But you said you knew an' I took your word  
     
     
  [Bridge]  
        Gm                              Dm  
  And then you told me later, as I apologized  
                       Cm                               A#  
  That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm  
  Gm                       Dm  
   An' I told you, as you clawed out my eyes  
          Cm                             Eb            F  
  That I never really meant to do you any ha-----rm
