I Cared For You More Than I Knew

	  		
C                                G7 
You say it’s better if we drift apart 

                                       C 
Although you see that it’s breaking my heart 

                                   G7 
How can you leave me so lonely and blue 

                                       C 
Knowing just how I’ve been counting on you 


                                    G7 
We once was so happy it all seems a shame 

                                  C 
And do you feel like that I am to blame 

                                       G7 
Dear if I failed you oh please tell me now 

                                      C 
And then maybe we can patch it up somehow 


                                             G7 
Now that I’ve lost you the whole world seems wrong 

                               C 
I don’t see how I can face it alone 

                                      G7 
For I’ve tried so hard to do right by you 

                                       C 
And really I cared for you more than I knew 


                                    G7 
When I first met you I heard people say 

                                                  C 
That there’d come a time when you’d treat me this way 

                                       G7 
I did not believe them I just let them rave 

                                        C 
Determined to stick by you clear to the grave 


                                       G7 
It would have been better had we never met 

                                    C 
Then I would not have so much to forget 

                                                G7 
If I’d only dreamed dear that there’d come this day 

                                         C 
Five years I could have used better some way
