C                                             Dm7 
I stood in the doorway and watched How she drove out of sight
 C                                                       Dm7 
She was what you call gone long before There were tears in her eyes
 F                     G 
And I thought about begging her please
 F                   G 
It crossed my mind to hit my knees


[Chorus]
       C    Dm7   F        G 
But I never got around to that
  C        Dm7                   F          G 
Something inside me kept holdin' me back,
  C            Dm7    walk-up      F 
I knew what to say before she drove away
            Am                            D 
But for the life of me why didn't I ask,
   Dm7       G 
I never got around to that.


[Verse]
 C                                       Dm7 
Last night I saw her in the arms Of somebody new
 C                                          Dm7 
It almost killed me, cause he did What I couldn't do
 F                      G 
And it seems like it was yesterday
 F                G 
There I stood four words away


[Chorus]
       C    Dm7   F        G 
But I never got around to that
  C        Dm7                   F          G 
Something inside me kept holdin' me back,
  C            Dm7    walk-up      F 
I knew what to say before she drove away
            Am                            D 
But for the life of me why didn't I ask,
   Dm7      G 
I never got around...

       C    Dm7   F        G 
But I never got around to that
  C        Dm7                   F          G 
Something inside me kept holdin' me back,
  C            Dm7    walk-up      F 
I knew what to say before she drove away
            Am                            D 
But for the life of me why didn't I ask,
   Dm7      G 
I never got around...

       C    Dm7   F        G 
But I never got around to that
  C        Dm7                   F          G 
Something inside me kept holdin' me back,
  C            Dm7    walk-up      F 
I knew what to say before she drove away
            Am                            D 
But for the life of me why didn't I ask,
   Dm7      G 
I never got around...


[Chorus]
       C    Dm7   F        G 
But I never got around to that
  C        Dm7                   F          G 
Something inside me kept holdin' me back,
  C            Dm7    walk-up      F 
I knew what to say before she drove away
            Am                            D 
But for the life of me why didn't I ask,
   Dm7       G 
I never got around to that.
