Capo 1
FI saw someone again today Cwho remembered me and you
BbThey asked all the same old questions, FI gave the Csame excuse
FThey said what a shame, what a Cshame to lose a love so fine
GmBut I never Dmlost you, GmI never Dmlost you, GmI never Dmlost you, Bbyou were Fnever mine
I kept on believing what I wanted to believe
The unspoken promises that you could never keep
But it's a sin, oh it's a sin to tell yourself a lie
I never lost you, I never lost you, I never lost you, you were never mine
CDid you give me Fall you gave mBbeA  C  
CJust because I needed youF  Bb  A  G  
GBut when I needed all your love completely
BbWas it more than you could Cdo
Sometimes deep in the night when I hold you in my dreams
I get lost in your loving touch, baby, I can't believe how real it seems
And I know, yes I know I'll have you 'till the end of time
'Cause I never lost you, I never lost you, I never lost you 'cause you were never mine
I never lost you, I never really lost you
How could I lose you, you were never mine
