D Well the first time that I saw her, G D Standing in the middle of the road. G D Eyes as bright as Christmas lights, A Wearing someone else’s clothes. D I did my best to ignore her, G D But Ignoring my best pretty soon. G D We spent the night all tangled tight, A G D In an armchair in my friends front room. Chorus: G A D G D I said darling you know, darling you know I cant stay. F G D G D Cause I’ve given my heart and my word to a girl far away. D F#m G Gm I felt weak as she kissed my cheek, and aside when I heard her say. Bm A/C# G A D Never knew I could get my heart broken, in less than a day. Oh and the next time that I saw her Must have been a year or more Face stained with mascara Shiverin' outside my door I did my best to assure her But assurance isn't easy to give If you've never been sure of anything much You get less so the longer you live Chorus: She said "darling ,you know, darling, you know I can’t stay 'Cos I've given my heart and my word to a boy far away" I spoke soft and pretended to cough, like I didn't care either way Never knew I could get my heart broken, in so many ways And the last time that I saw her Standing in the pouring rain Hair a little shorter But everything else looked the same I could'a told her that I adored her She could'a said she felt the same way But we just smiled 'cos sometimes words Aren’t the right words to say We just smiled 'cos sometimes words Aren’t the right words to say You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C#  D  F  F#m  G  Gm  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
