F G7 C6

This happened once before, when I came to your door. No reply.
F G7 C
They said it wasn't you, but I saw you peep through, your window.
Am Em Fmaj7 Em
I saw the light. I saw the light.
Dm7 G7 C
I know that you saw me, 'cause I looked up to see, your face.
F G7 C6
I tried to telephone, they said you were not home. That's a lie.
F G7 C
'Cause I know where you've been, I saw you walk in, your door.
Am Em Fmaj7 Em
I nearly died. I nearly died.
Dm7 G7 C
'Cause you walked hand in hand, with another man, in my place.
E7 A
If I were you, I'd realize, that I.
Dm F C
Love you more, than any other guy.
E7 A
And I'll forgive, the lies, that I.
Dm F C
Heard before, when you gave me no reply.
F G7 C6
I tried to telephone, they said you were not home. That's a lie.
