A               D7 
I told you that some day 
       D             A      A 
If you kept on being untrue 
A         Em   A          Em    A     
 Somebody else would come along 
A                    D   D  
 And release me from you 

D                      D7 
You'll be glad to know now you fickle heart                  
    D        G       G 
Can have its own way 
G               D        A 
 For it finally happened 
A             D     G D A 
 I've met her today 

A               D7              
I used to think I just couldn't live 
  D           A   A 
A day without you 
A                Em       A          Em    A 
 In spite of the thousand doubts and tears 
A                D       D 
 That you put me through 
                    D7                    
All at once I don't care as much for you 
    D        G   G 
I'm sorry to say 
G                D      A 
For now there's another 
A          D     G D 
 I met her today 

D                    Em          A    Em 
How I treasured each smile, each kiss 
Em           A   D            A D         
 You gave to me, now and then 
D                     A              Em 
 Well, you needn't be kind to me now 
Em      A        D     D 
 Oh no, not ever again 
D                         D7               
Just when the last bit of pride in me was gone 
    D            G    G 
Someone heard me pray 
G           D        A    
And sent me an angel 
  Em      D      D | G | D | A 
I met her today 
  A7      D      D | G | D | A | D 
I met her today                  !
