[Verse]
C# Gb/C# C# Gb C#
I didn't mean to treat you so bad
Gb C#/F G#
You shouldn't take it so personal
C# Gb/C# C# Gb C#
I didn't mean to make you so sad
Gb C#/F G#
You just happened to be there, that's all
[Bridge]
A#m Fm
When I saw you say "goodbye" to your friend and smile
D#m C#
I thought that it was well understood
A#m Fm
That you'd be comin' back in a little while
D#m Gb G#
I didn't know that you were sayin' "goodbye" for goo-----ood
[Chorus]
C# G#/C Gb/A# C#/G#
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
Gb C#/F G#
You just did what you're supposed to do
C# G#/C Gb/A# C#/G#
Sooner or later, one of us must know
Gb C#/F G#
That I really did try to get close to you
[Interlude]
| C# Gb/C# | C# Gb/C# |
[Verse]
C# Gb/C# C# Gb C#
I couldn't see what you could show me
Gb C#/F G#
Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
C# Gb/C# C# Gb C#
I couldn't see how you could know me
Gb C#/F G#
But you said you knew me and I believed you did
[Bridge]
A#m Fm
When you whispered in my ear
D#m C#
And asked me if I was leavin' with you or her
A#m Fm
I didn't realize just what I did hear
D#m Gb G#
I didn't realize how young you we------re
[Chorus]
C# G#/C Gb/A# C#/G#
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
Gb C#/F G#
You just did what you're supposed to do
C# G#/C Gb/A# C#/G#
Sooner or later, one of us must know
Gb C#/F G#
That I really did try to get close to you
[Interlude]

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