Verse:
A augmentedA              E MajorE        A augmentedA
The heavens were alive with stars

She pointed out which one was Mars
D MajorD                                 A augmentedA
Lying arm in arm against an old tree trunk

She used a phrase of Holly Golightly's from 'Breakfast At Tiffany's'
              D MajorD                   A augmentedA
She said: "Don't take me home until I'm drunk. Very drunk indeed!"

We talked about a second date
                    D MajorD     A augmentedA
She said that meeting me was fate
            D MajorD                          A augmentedA
And, though I don't believe in that crap, I said: "Yes"

We both knew where the night would end
                                    D MajorD        A augmentedA
But when we kissed, I won't pretend, I still shook with apprehension, I confess

Chorus:
                          G+G       B minorBm
And then I said: "I could fall in love with you"
      A augmentedA               G+G      B minorBm
But, as I recall, she said: "I like you too"

Verse:
D MajorD
And that little word was the warning sign

That little word meant she'd never be mine,
G+G
as I discovered the next day
D MajorD
A augmentedA text on my phone saying:

"I don't know whether I mentioned him last night,
             A augmentedA             G+G
but I'm getting back together with my old fiancé

I'm sorry, by the way"

D MajorD        A augmentedA
And, when I think about that night,

I wonder if perhaps I might
D MajorD                   G+G        D MajorD    A augmentedA
not have done every single thing I could

But, deep down, I know I was blind; she just used me to make up her mind
            D MajorD            A augmentedA
But if I had to do it all again, I would

And then I said: "I could fall in love with you"
      A augmentedA               G+G      B minorBm   D MajorD A augmentedA
But, as I recall, she said: "I like you too"
                          G+G   A augmentedA    B minorBm
And then I said: "I could fall in love with you"
      A augmentedA               G+G      B minorBm
But, as I recall, she said: "I like you too"
