D I knew that you loved me A G D When you walked me to class in the dark D I knew that you loved me A G D When you ran to the store for a card G Gm You couldn't find a pen so you asked someone sweetly E7 You wrote out a note and you ran back to meet me Em7 And gave it to me on the bridge A I said I would never forget this D And I never did D I knew that you loved me A G D When you walked me back home one night D I knew that you loved me A G D When I saw that my shoe was untied G Gm You bent down to tie it in the middle of the street E7 There was snow everywhere, it was turning to sleet Em7 But I knew when you looked up at me A This was where I was meant to be Chorus: D So why? Em Why did you have to go? G D Why did you have to go so soon? D Why? Em7 Why did you leave me there? G E7 E Why did you leave me without you? G Em D Why did I think I knew? I knew that you loved me But you told me we just weren't right And I knew that I loved you When I couldn't fall asleep that night I miss hearing all of your favorite songs And I wish I could tell you, "turn it all off," one more time And everyone laughs and then it is quiet Chorus: Why? Why did you have to go? Why did you have to go so soon? And why? Why did you leave me there? Why did you leave me without you? And why did I think I knew?
