Capo 4  
Oh even Fthough I felt the mountains and thCe valleys
I tFhink about the little life I've lCived 
And while I've sAmeen the setting sGun 
I know my dFays have just bCegun
and now I sFee that I've but Gone life I can giCve 
Yes, I was tFhinking over what I do believe iCn
Oh Fafter love and God they came to Cmind 
Oh I Amwouldn't change a Gthing about the Fway she made me Csing
Although Fnow she's just a Gsong I've yet to wCrite 
Chorus
So she's Fgone she's gone aCway 
And I Fheld on to yesterCday 
Now I Amsee it bright and Gfull 
Through the Feyes within my sCoul 
She's just Fsomeone I Gused to kCnow
If is should Fsee her in a year in New York Ccity
I might Fwonder is she's still the one I Cknew
But I will Amhave to hold my Gtongue,
I guess my Fsong just won't get Csung
And I will Fact as if I'm Gonly passing Cthrough
Cause even Fthough she took my heart and left it Cbroken,
A million Ftimes again I'd let it Cbreak 
But then as Amfunny as it Gseems 
I thought it Fmight have been a Cdream 
And so I Fprayed and prayed the GLord my soul to Cwake 
But still she Fwent, and left me Chere 
And all my Fhope, had turned to Cfear
And now I Amsee it bright and Gfull,
Through the Feyes within my Csoul,
She's just Fsomeone I Gused to Cknow 
As we were Fpacking up my things as I was Cleavin'
You Ffound her picture burried deep beneath my Cbed 
And I could Amsee it in your Geyes 
When your Fheart began to Ccry 
I said she's Fjust a memory lost inside my Chead 
And now you've Fcome, to set me Cfree 
And I am Fwhole at last I Csee 
And now I Amsee it bright and Gfull,
Through the Feyes withing my Csoul, 
She's just Fsomeone, I Gused to Cknow
I used to know 
I used to know 
Used to know 
Oooo 
Oooo 
Oooooo 
Oooo

Capo 4

F C

Oh even though I felt the mountains and the valleys

F C

I think about the little life I've lived

Am G

And while I've seen the setting sun

F C

I know my days have just begun

F G C

and now I see that I've but one life I can give

F C

Yes, I was thinking over what I do believe in

F C

Oh after love and God they came to mind

Am G F C

Oh I wouldn't change a thing about the way she made me sing

F G C

Although now she's just a song I've yet to write

Chorus

F C

So she's gone she's gone away

F C

And I held on to yesterday

Am G

Now I see it bright and full

F C

Through the eyes within my soul

F G C

She's just someone I used to know

F C

If is should see her in a year in New York city

F C

I might wonder is she's still the one I knew

Am G

But I will have to hold my tongue,

F C

I guess my song just won't get sung

F G C

And I will act as if I'm only passing through

F C

Cause even though she took my heart and left it broken,

F C

A million times again I'd let it break

Am G

But then as funny as it seems

F C

I thought it might have been a dream

F G C

And so I prayed and prayed the Lord my soul to wake

F C

But still she went, and left me here

F C

And all my hope, had turned to fear

Am G

And now I see it bright and full,

F C

Through the eyes within my soul,

F G C

She's just someone I used to know

F C

As we were packing up my things as I was leavin'

F C

You found her picture burried deep beneath my bed

Am G

And I could see it in your eyes

F C

When your heart began to cry

F C

I said she's just a memory lost inside my head

F C

And now you've come, to set me free

F C

And I am whole at last I see

Am G

And now I see it bright and full,

F C

Through the eyes withing my soul,

F G C

She's just someone, I used to know

I used to know

Used to know

Oooo

Oooooo

Oooo
