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

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

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