C
NC G
He wasn't there when I needed him
C
No, he was never around
G
His reputation was preceding him
C
And he was out on the town
G
It didn't matter if he let me down
C
I didn't care about the lies
G
Now all I knew was that he loved me very much
C
He was my hero in disguise
C
I'm so pleased I never gave up on him
C
Oh well you wouldn't believe some of the things that he did
D
And everyone said you have to give him some time
C
And I'm glad that I gave it to him cause now everything's fine
NC G
Now you see I never thought you’d be
C
a constant person in my life
G
And I don't think that you would be if
C
you’d have stayed with your ex wife
G
I know you wouldn't but there is no need
C
No need to apologise
G
Because I know you'll always love me very much
C
You are my hero in disguise
C
I'm so pleased I never gave up on him
C
Oh well you wouldn't believe some of the things that he did
D
And everyone said you have to give him some time
C
And I'm glad that I gave it to him cause now everything's fine
NC G
You might have thought you didn't teach me much
C
But you taught me right from wrong
G
And it was when you didn't keep in touch
C
Well it taught me to be strong
G
And just in case you ever thought I would
C
I wouldn't change you for the world
G
Because I know you'll always love me very much
C
I'll always be you're little girl
C
I'm so pleased I never gave up on him
C
Oh well you wouldn't believe some of the things that he did
D
And everyone said you have to give him some time
C
And I'm glad that I gave it to him cause now everything's fine
