I Knew

        A#                         
You came in from the cold and asked
             Dm
 me to dance - i knew,
        A#                         
That my lucky stars were hoping i'd
    Dm
 say "i do."
So there you stood and something 
            Fm
told me that i should.
So there you stood and something 
             C
told me that i should.

[Verse 2]
        A#                         
But the look in your eyes was a bit
                  Dm
 too bright - i said "no."
        A#                         
Maybe the melting snow on your deep
                Dm
 black hair made me go?
So there you stood and something 
          Fm
made me walk away.
So there you stood and something 
          C
made me walk away.

[Verse 3]
        A#                         
Was the dj so bad that i went 
                Dm
nearly mad? - i don't know.
        A#                         
He should have played something 
                        Dm
old, something melancholy and slow.
Continues after the ad
So there you stood and something 
          Fm
made me walk away.
Away i went yet something told me to
C
 stay.

[Chorus]

It would've been a beautiful day to 
heed your call.

It would've been a wonderful scene 
to watch the snow fall.

[Verse 4]
        A#                         
Then the summer came, we met on the
          Dm
 street - too soon.
        A#                       
You seized my hand and asked if i 
           Dm
didn't like you.
So there you stood and something 
           Fm
told me that i should.
So there you stood and something 
          C
told me that i should.

[Verse 5]
        A#                         
But my laundry was due and the heat
             Dm
 wave was intense too.
        A#                    
So i went kinda speechless and 
                   Dm
absent-minded 'bout you.
So there you stood and something 
          Fm
made me walk away.
Away i went yet something told me to
 C
 stay.

[Chorus]

It would've been like a love song to
 walk hand in hand.

It would've been a carpe diem to 
carve hearts in the sand.

[Verse 6]
        A#                         
So now i dance on my own and wander
           Dm
 about - so blue.
        A#                      
I keep passing my days by hoping 
             Dm
that i'd see you.
So i could wait if something made me
     Fm
 walk away.
So i could wait if something told me
     C
 i should stay.
