It started with a kiss   in the back row of a class room 
                G                 C   Am    D 
How could I resist the aroma of your per fume 
C                 D                  Bm              Em

 you made me promise, to marry you 
           Bm                Em

G              C 
 you were only eight years old 
          G                 C 
and I had just about turned nine. 
G                       C 
I thought that life was always good

I remember ev'ry little thing     like fighting in the play ground 
                     G                     C    Am     D 
as some good looking boy    had started to hang around. 
C              D 
 that boy hurt me so bad 
          Bm               Em 
but I was happy 'cause you cried     still 
C                   D                 Bm                   Em 
I couldn't help but notice   that new distant look in your eyes 
          G                C 
and then,   when you were sixteen 
          G                C 
and I had just turned seventeen 
G                   C 
 I couldn't hold on to your love 
           G             C 
I couldn't hold on to my dreams

Walking down the street    came the star of my love sto ry 
                  G                             C   Am   D 
my heart began to beat so fast, so clear was my mem ory

 I heard my voice cry out her name 
           Bm                  Em 
and as she looked, and looked away 
C                  D                         Bm               Em 
 I felt so hurt, I felt so small  and it was all that I could say 

Em                       
  You don't remember me do you? 
                           D
