Verse 1:
   G
I've always tried to understand
  G
The reason why our love must end
Am             G
Why did she let me wait on our weekly Friday date?
Am             D
  I've been waiting rather long

And I knew that something had gone wrong

Verse 2:
   G
I'll never forget those happy days
  G
Our love was growing in many ways
Am                G
And when she sometimes said: "My love for you has made me bad"

That she meant she wasn't free like me

Looking at the picture and the words you sent me too
Am                G
This sweet little photograph just shows me everything
   Em               F         D   D
It's you with your husband and your kiddies snapped in spring

The tears that I saw in her eyes

Of a women who knew she was untrue
