I didn't mean to treat you so bad

You shouldn't take it so personal

I didn't mean to make you so sad
FC (F) G (Gsus4-G)
You just happened to be there, that's all
AmEm
When I saw you say "goodbye" to your friend and smile
DmC
I thought that it was well understood
AmEm
That you'd be comin' back in a little while
DmFG
I didn't know that you were sayin' "goodbye" for good
CGFC
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
FCG
That you just did what you're supposed to do
CGFC
Sooner or later, one of us must know
FCG
That I really did try to get close to you
I couldn't see what you could show me
Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
I couldn't see how you could know me
But you said you knew me and I believed you did
When you whispered in my ear
And asked me if I was leavin' with you or her
I didn't realize just what I did hear
I didn't realize how young you were
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
You just did what you're supposed to do
Sooner or later, one of us must know
That I really did try to get close to you
I couldn't see when it started snowin'
Your voice was all that I heard
I couldn't see where we were goin'
But you said you knew an' I took your word
And then you told me later, as I apologized
That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
An' I told you, as you clawed out my eyes
That I never really meant to do you any harm
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
You just did what you're supposed to do
Sooner or later, one of us must know
That I really did try to get close to you
