verse 1:
D G
When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around;
Bm D/F# G D Em7 A7 D
Those pretty faces always made you, stand out in a crowd.
D G
Then someone picked you from the bunch; one glance was all it took;
Bm D/F# G D Em7 A7 D (WALK UP)
Now it's much too late for me, to take a second look.
