Introduction:

 C         F                 C 
When somebody loved me
 F                                 G 
Everything was beautiful
 Em                         Am 
Every hour we spent together
 F                               G 
Lives within my heart
 C         F                   C 
And when she was sad
 F                             G 
I was there to dry her tears
 Em                             Am                     F 
And when she was happy so was I
           C           G                 C 
When she loved me
 F                                                     G 
Through the summer and the fall
         Em                                         Am 
We had each other that was all
         Em                 Am 
Just she and I together
           F                             G 
Like it was meant to be
 C                                 Am 
And when she was lonely
 F                                 G 
I was there to comfort her
             Em   Am       C         G           C 
And I knew that she loved me
 Am                             G 
So the years went by
       Em               Am 
I stayed the same
       Em                       Am 
But she began to drift away
 G                   Am 
I was left alone
 Fm                         Cm 
Still I waited for the day
When she'd say
 Fm           Cm                 G 
I will always love you
 C         F         C 
Lonely and forgotten
 F                                       G 
Never thought she'd look my way
 Em                                             Am 
And she smiled at me and held me
 F                                         G 
Just like she used to do
 C                           Am 
Like she loved me
 F                           G 
When she loved me
 C         F                 C 
When somebody loved me
 F                                 G 
Everything was beautiful
 Em                         Am 
Every hour we spent together
 F                               G 
Lives within my heart
           C         G                 C 
When she loved me
