[Verse]
E A/E E A E
I didn't mean to treat you so bad
A E/G# B
You shouldn't take it so personal
E A/E E A E
I didn't mean to make you so sad
A E/G# B
You just happened to be there, that's all
[Bridge]
C#m G#m
When I saw you say "goodbye" to your friend and smile
F#m E
I thought that it was well understood
C#m G#m
That you'd be comin' back in a little while
F#m A B
I didn't know that you were sayin' "goodbye" for goo-----ood
[Chorus]
E B/D# A/C# E/B
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
A E/G# B
You just did what you're supposed to do
E B/D# A/C# E/B
Sooner or later, one of us must know
A E/G# B
That I really did try to get close to you
[Interlude]

[Verse]
E A/E E A E
I couldn't see what you could show me
A E/G# B
Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
E A/E E A E
I couldn't see how you could know me
A E/G# B
But you said you knew me and I believed you did
[Bridge]
C#m G#m
When you whispered in my ear
F#m E
And asked me if I was leavin' with you or her
C#m G#m
I didn't realize just what I did hear
F#m A B
I didn't realize how young you we------re
[Chorus]
E B/D# A/C# E/B
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
A E/G# B
You just did what you're supposed to do
E B/D# A/C# E/B
Sooner or later, one of us must know
A E/G# B
That I really did try to get close to you

[Verse]
E A/E E A E
I couldn't see when it started snowin'
A E/G# B
Your voice was all that I heard
E A/E E A E
I couldn't see where we were go-in'
A E/G# B
But you said you knew an' I took your word
[Bridge]
C#m G#m
And then you told me later, as I apologized
F#m E
That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
C#m G#m
An' I told you, as you clawed out my eyes
F#m A B
That I never really meant to do you any ha-----rm
[Chorus]
E B/D# A/C# E/B
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
A E/G# B
You just did what you're supposed to do
E B/D# A/C# E/B
Sooner or later, one of us must know
A E/G# B
That I really did try to get close to you
