D D/F#
I thought I knew, the girl so well
G D
If she was sad, I couldn't tell
D/F#
I missed the point, I missed the signs
G D
So if she's gone, the fault is mine
Em D
I know, I know, a whole lot of little things
Em D
And even though, I could list them one by one
A7sus A7
She would still be gone
Chorus
D D/F#
Her eyes are blue her hair is long
G D/A
In '64 she was born
A D
in Baton Rouge
D/F# G
Her favorite song is "In My Life"
D/A Bm
I memorized her every move
A G
I knew her books, her car, her clothes
D D/F# G A D
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?
