I Never Lied To You
AThere will be Gshoulders pressing in the Ahall
and I won't Gknow if you're here at Aall
there will be Gwine and drinking in the Ayard
there won't be Ganybody very Ahard
there will be Glots of things that we can Ado
and all and more will be for Gyou
F#everything I knew I Atried with you
but F#everything to you was never Eeasy
so I went ahead around my Aworld
I saw the things you do arriving by your side
to see you looking too
but I know this. A7I know, I never lied Eto you
it's Gbeen just like you're Fgone
for just one Aday for Gso F#long
It's Fbeen so F#hard to Gbear with you not Dthere
but thought I Ethink of you, the things you do
when I'm with you, to be with you,
to be alone...can only think
Why I am here? What's Ameant to be?
