D5 D5 G5 A5 , D5 D5 G5 A5
D5 D5
I thought I knew, the girl so well
G5 D5
If she was sad, I couldn't tell
D5
I missed the point, I missed the signs
G5 D5
So if she's gone, the fault is mine
E5 D5
I know, I know, a whole lot of little things
E5 D5
And even though, I could list them one by one
A5 A5
She would still be gone
Chorus
D5 D5
Her eyes are blue her hair is long
G5 D5
In '64 she was born
A5 D5
in Baton Rouge
D5 G5
Her favorite song is "In My Life"
D5 B5
I memorized her every move
A5 G5
I knew her books, her car, her clothes
D5 D5 G5 A5 D5
But I paid, no attention to what mattered most
Verse 2
I never asked, she never said
And when she cried I turned my head
She dreamed her dreams, behind closed doors
That made them easy to ignore
I know, I know, I missed the forest for the trees
Now all I have to show
When she walked out the door
Are cold facts and nothin' more
Chorus
Last Chorus:
Her eyes are blue, her hair is long, In '64
She was born, in Baton Rouge,
Her father's tall, her mother's gone,
She moved out West when she was two,
The way she laughed, the way she loved,
Oh my God what did I do?
