A  
Once I thought I loved just you,  
  
And I thought you loved me too,  
         E  
But just look what thoughts will do.  
                       A  
For today you say we're through,  
  
Now a mother wears a crown and you think that you have found 
          E  
Just what makes your world go 'round.  
                                     A  
Watch those thoughts, they'll get you down.  
  
  
Guitar Solo  
  
A  
If within your future years   
  
You knew love should bring you tears  
           E  
And you'll think of me, I'm sure,  
                                  A  
But those thoughts won't help you, dear.  
  
Thought I'd build a home for two,  
  
Just a home for me and you.  
             E  
Thought we'd have some kiddies too,  
                                 A  
But just look what thoughts will do.  
  
Piano Solo  
  
A  
Now I know just how you feel,  
  
That your love was never real.  
       E  
Yes, to you I don't appeal,  
                         A  
So we'll just forget the deal.  
  
So goodbye and here's to you,  
  
And I'm happy through and through.  
        E  
Yes, you thought that I'd be blue,  
                                 A  
But just look what thoughts will do.
