  			C            G         F 
I would have waited forever 
        C                  Am 
if I'd known that you'd be here. 
F             C                G 
We could have shared our lives together 
    Dm         F          G               G7 
and held each other close all through the years. 
 
But I met someone before you 
and my heart just wouldn't wait, 
So no matter how much I adore you  
I've got to stand behind this promise that I made. 
           Am  F                 C 
Where were you when I could have loved you? 
           Am         F             G  G7 
Where were you when I gave my heart away? 
       F     G          Am         F 
All my life, I've been dreaming of you 
           C       G           Am F 
You came along one promise too late  
           C       G           C 
You came along one promise too late.

BRIDGE: 
Em                   Am 
I won't say that I'm sorry that I met you. 
Em                     F           G      G7 
I can't have you but I never will forget you. 
 
Where were you when I could have loved you? 
Where were you when I gave my heart away? 
All my life, darling, I've been dreaming of you. 
You came along one promise too late. 
You came along one promise too late. 
 
(Repeat)
