A
I once had a love, 
          D
A true and lasting love, 
        A
But the fool in me, 
            E
Came out one night. 
           A
And with her loving eyes, 
            D
She saw right through my lies. 
        A
And she changed the night 
  E                A
I stepped across the line. 
 
A
I should've watched that first step. 
              D
It was a mighty big step. 
     A                     E
When i started stepping out of line. 
                 A
Though she's still loving me, 
                  D
It's not the way it used to be. 
     A             E              A
That first step did something to her mind. 
 
A
I watched her slip away. 
             D
A little more everyday. 
       A
For my conscience 
                         E
Couldn't live with all that shame. 
                A
Now she's growing colder 
              D
Since the day i told her. 
        A
And the love we had 
     E          A
Will never be the same. 
 
  
Repeat chorus 
 
     D                  A             E
