Lying arm in arm against an old tree trunk

She used a phrase of Holly Golightly's from 'Breakfast At Tiffany's'
                            D                                      A

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

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

And then I said: "I could fall in love with you"
            A                              G            Bm
But, as I recall, she said: "I like you too"

Verse:
D
And that little word was the warning sign

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

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

I'm sorry, by the way"

And, when I think about that night,

I wonder if perhaps I might
D                                     G               D       A
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                        A
But if I had to do it all again, I would

                                                   G      A        Bm
