When I Loved Her

           C                       
Well, she didn't look as pretty as 
      F             C
some others I have known,
And she wasn't good at conversation 
F              G7
when we were alone.
         F            G7     
But she had a way of making me 
      C              Am
believe that I belonged.
        F                G7       
And it felt like coming home when 
   C
I found her.

[Chorus]
C7          F               G7  
Cause she brightened up the day 
          C            Am
like the early morning sun
         F              G7        
And she made what I was doing seem
       C
 worthwhile.
C7        F                G7   
It's the closest thing to living
         C               Am
 that I guess I've ever known.
        F               G7        
And it made me want to smile when 
    C
I loved her.

[Verse 2]
Continues after the ad
            C                      
'Cause she seemed to be so proud of
           F                C
 me, just walking, holding hands,
And she didn't think that money was 
    F            G7
the measure of a man.
        F                       G7
And we seemed to fit together when
    C              Am
 I held her in my arms.
        F               G7        
And it left me feeling warm when I
   C
 loved her.

[Chorus]
C7          F                G7 
Cause she brightened up the day 
          C            Am
like the early morning sun
         F               G7       
And she made what I was doing seem
        C
 worthwhile.
C7        F                G7   
It's the closest thing to living
         C               Am
 that I guess I've ever known.
        F               G7        
And it made me want to smile when 
   C
I loved her.

[Verse 3]
        C                          
I know some of us were born to cast
      F               C
 our fortunes to the wind,
And I guess I'm bound to travel down
    F               G7
 a road that never ends.
       F               G7         
But I know I'll never look upon 
    C           Am
the likes of her again.
          F           G7          
And I'll never understand why I 
  C
lost her.

[Chorus]
C7          F               G7  
Cause she brightened up the day 
          C            Am
like the early morning sun
         F              G7        
And she made what I was doing seem
       C
 worthwhile.
C7        F                G7   
It's the closest thing to living
         C               Am
 that I guess I've ever known.
        F               G7        
And it made me want to smile when 
    C
I loved her.
