Verse
      G                         B7
Well, every time I try to love another
  C           D              G   D
I never know exactly what to do
    G                                B7
I'd like to tell her just how much I want her
    C                D               G
And I could find the way if she were you

Verse
    G                              B7
Her eyes may shine for me and not another,
    C                 D              G    D
Her lonely arms reach out to hold me too
    G                                  B7
She wants to take your place and be my lover
    C                D                G
And I could make her mine if she were you

  D                                 G
I never knew how much I cared about you
          A7                        D    D7
Till your memory made me a lovesick fool
         G                                    B7
When she speaks to me I hear your sweet voice calling
       C                  D               G     D
When I close my eyes your face comes into view
     G                            B7
I remember how it hurt when I was falling
    C              D               G
And I could fall again if she were you
