Capo 2nd Fret
Intro: (C) (C)
(C) He thinks half way is good en(Em)ough
He gives her his (F) life in bits and pieces
and calls it (C) love (G)
(C) How can one man have so (Em) much
And still miss the (F) taste of such sweet (G) wine
I'd drink it (F) all if she were mine
He doesn't know what (C) loving her could mean
He doesn't know a (G) single dream she dreams
He doesn't feel the (Am) rhythm of her heart
How can he stop the (F) tears before they start
There's so much of her (C) soul he doesn't see
He'll never know how (G) true her love can be
How can he ever (F) give her what she needs
He doesn't even (C) know her
(C) I know there's a story in her (Em) eyes
I see the (F) pages slowly fade
every(C)time she (G) cries
(C) When she leaves he won't know (Em) why
He's got a (F) diamond in his (G) hand
He needs to (F) save it if he can
{Chorus}
He doesn't even (F) know her
Favorite time of (Am) day
Words that touch her and take her breath away
(F) There's a power that she'll never show
(G) If he thinks she won't go
{Chorus}
That has to be the (F) saddest thing to me
He doesn't even (C) know her
