verse 1:
Dm
I met her on my way to Chicago
Where she was all alone
And so was I
Gm
So I asked her for her name
She smiled and looked at me
Dm
I was surprised to see
That a woman like that
Gm
Was really into me
[Refrão]
She said she didn’t have no man
Raised her kids the very best she can
(She was loving me)
Dm
She told me she was all alone
Said at home, she didn’t have no phone
(She was wanting me)

She said just to give her a page
Spend the night was the goal she played
(She was loving me)

She lied to you, lied to me
Thought she was loving me, loving me
Yeah

Dm
I never would’ve thought she was living like that
Her words seemed so sincere
When I held her near
Gm
She would tell me how she feels
It felt so real to me
Dm
This girl, she had to be
Gm
An angel sent from heaven just for me
Repeat Chorus
[Refrão]
Gm
She tried to live a double life
Loving me while she was still your wife
(She was wanting me)
Dm
She thought that loving me was cool
With you at work and the kids at school
(She was loving me)
Gm
She said that it would never end
Tried to keep me any way she can
(She was wanting me)
A7
She lied to you, lied to me
‘Cause she had a family, family
Yeah
Interlude:
Dm
Why, Oh no, alright, oh
Dm
I’m in love, love
verse 3:
Dm
I didn’t know she was already spoken for
‘Cause I’m not that kind of man
Gm
Swear that I would’ve never looked her way
Now I feel so much shame

And all things have to change
You should know that I’m holding her blame
