D  A Em Em G A D

D              A
When I had you to myself
Em                      D
I didn't want you around
D                      A               Em                      D
All those pretty faces always made you stand out from the crowd
D                  A
Someone picked you from the bunch
Em                        D
One glance was all it took

Now it's much too late for me to go and take a second look
