D                     A7                D 
I saw a man today who said he talked to you 
                  G                D 
Not so long ago I think a month or two 
                         G 
As my mind raced back in time 
            D                 G 
I prayed oh Lord don't let it show 
          D             A7           D 
He thinks I forgot you fifteen years ago 
 
 
 
 D                     G                D 
Fifteen  years ago and I still feel the same 
                                 A7 
Why did he have to mention your name 
          D       G                D       G                 
I'm as broken up inside as if it's been a week or so 
                                                    
G          D             G              D            G
It takes a mighty strong love to keep a man thinking of 
           D                 A7           D 
A girl he hasn't seen since fifteen years ago 
 
 
 D                          A7                 D 
I've got a lovely wife who thinks the world of me 
                             G         D 
Promised her my love through all eternity 
                                          
D                           G            D               G
I've tried hard to make her happy and so far she doesn't know 
           D                A7             D 
I can't shake this thing of fifteen years ago 
 
 
 D                    G                 D 
Fifteen years ago and I still feel the same 
                                A7 
Why did he have to mention your name 
          D        G                D             G 
I'm as broken up inside as if it's been a week or so 
           
G           D             G          D                  G
It takes a mighty long time to get a real love off your mind 
             D          A7            D 
I know I've tried since fifteen years ago
