He sends her roses and lines he composes, things a lady loves 
     D		   A		 G	     A	      D		G	A 
Well he's there to hold her when she needs a shoulder if life gets too 
rough 
   G		   A		D		 G	A		D 
Oh now that she's left I keep kicking myself whenever I start thinking 
back 
G	   A		D	   G			 A	    D 
He says he needs her, tells her he loves her, why didn't I think of 
that? 
 
D		A	     G	    A		D	     G	   A 
When she gets down well he's always around her, he makes her smile again 
D	     A		   G		A	D	      G	   A 
He mends her heartaches, remembers her birthday, and tries to be a 
friend 
G		A	   D			  G	  A	   D 
Now that she's gone I know what I did wrong, it's all so simple in fact 
     G		A	   D		  G		     A		 D   DA 
Well he says he wants her, can't live without her, why didn't I think of 
that? 
 
 
Chorus: 
Bm		A	G	  A	  D    D A 
Ooh I've been watching every move that he makes 
Bm		A	   Em		    D		 G 
Ooh I've been thinking, it could have been different somehow 
   Em		  D	 A 
If I'd known what I know now 
 
D	     A		    G		  A		 D	    G	     A 
He sings her love songs and tells her his love's strong, things she 
needs to know 
D	    A		   G		A	D	G	A 
He tries to please her, he calls for no reason, just to say hello 
G	   A		 D			   G	   A		D 
He says he loves her and he'll never leave her and I never will get her 
back 
G	 A		  D	     G		      A		 D   D A 
I did my best, thought of everything else, why didn't I think of that?

that?
