I Cared For You More Than I Knew

C                                G7
You say it’s better if we drift apart

                                       C
Although you see that it’s breaking my heart

                                   G7
How can you leave me so lonely and blue

                                       C
Knowing just how I’ve been counting on you


                                    G7
We once was so happy it all seems a shame

                                  C
And do you feel like that I am to blame

                                       G7
Dear if I failed you oh please tell me now

                                      C
And then maybe we can patch it up somehow


                                             G7
Now that I’ve lost you the whole world seems wrong

                               C
I don’t see how I can face it alone

                                      G7
For I’ve tried so hard to do right by you

                                       C
And really I cared for you more than I knew


                                    G7
When I first met you I heard people say

                                                  C
That there’d come a time when you’d treat me this way

                                       G7
I did not believe them I just let them rave

                                        C
Determined to stick by you clear to the grave


                                       G7
It would have been better had we never met

                                    C
Then I would not have so much to forget

                                                G7
If I’d only dreamed dear that there’d come this day

                                         C
Five years I could have used better some way


C                                G7
You say it’s better if we drift apart

                                       C

                                   G7
How can you leave me so lonely and blue

                                       C
