Introduction:
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
