C
As I walked through the door and my eyes fit the darkness

F
I saw him alone at the bar

  G7
I went over to him said you may not know me

                           C
But I sure do know who you are

 
 
But don't worry my anger was spent long ago

F
And only the memory remains

    G7
But lord how I suffered sometimes I still wonder

                      C
And maybe now you can explain

 
 
Tell me how could I love her so much

                                             G7
And then lose her so quickly to someone like you

 
How did you know how to hold her and please her

                         C
How did you know what to do

 
 
After all of the time I spent learning to love her

                          F
And be what she needed me to

        G7
Tell me how could I love her so much

                                             C
And then lose her so quickly to someone like you

 
 
He said friend let me buy you a drink and I'll tell you

  F
A story that's sad but it's true

    G7
How I loved her and held her till some drifter stole her

                              C
From me like I stole her from you

 
 
I guess no one can own her hearts like a soldier 

   F
Of fortune her love like the wind

G7
Still all I can think of is finding her new love

                            C
And asking this question of him


 
Tell me how could I love her so much

                                             G7
And then lose her so quickly to someone like you

 
How did you know how to hold her and please her

                         C
How did you know what to do

 
 
After all of the time I spent learning to love her

                          F
And be what she needed me to

        G7
Tell me how could I love her so much

                                             C
And then lose her so quickly to someone like you
