A
I once had a love,
D
A true and lasting love,
A
But the fool in me,
E
Came out one night.
A
And with her loving eyes,
D
She saw right through my lies.
A
And she changed the night
E A
I stepped across the line.
A
I should've watched that first step.
D
It was a mighty big step.
A E
When i started stepping out of line.
A
Though she's still loving me,
D
It's not the way it used to be.
A E A
That first step did something to her mind.
A
I watched her slip away.
D
A little more everyday.
A
For my conscience
E
Couldn't live with all that shame.
A
Now she's growing colder
D
Since the day i told her.
A
And the love we had
E A
Will never be the same.
