A              C#m       D          A
I once loved a woman, maybe I never knew
A             C#m               E       E
It was just a few times that we met
D                A       C#m            D
but she made her mark, a line across my heart
A               C#m          D  A
I know now that she was dear to me

[Verse 2]
A                C#m             D                    A
"You know you'll forget me," she told me with a smile
A                  C#m              E       E
I just laughed and told her she was wrong
D                 A        C#m            D
Stars were in her eyes and she looked so alive
A               C#m               D  A
when I held her hand in mine that evening

[Verse 3]
A                 C#m      D                    A
I guess I know my heart a little better now
A              C#m       E       E
It's easier to see my mistake
    D             A         C#m       D
The road I never took, like in a open book
    A                    C#m           D   A
the chance that slipped away under the moonlight

[Verse 4]
A          C#m       D                    A
I saw her again, one rainswept New Year's Eve
A            C#m           E       E
in a crowd, another on her arm
D              A          C#m            D
I was standing there, all I could do was stare
    A               C#m           D  A
The way she looked away I still remember
