  			C              Am 
When somebody loved me 
F                 G 
Everything was beautiful 
Em             Am 
Every hour we spent together 
F                G 
Lives within my heart 

C                 Am 
And when she was sad 
F               G 
I was there to dry her tears 
Em               Am           F 
And when she was happy so was I 
     G         C 
When she loved me 

F                           G 
Through the summer and the fall 
    Em                     Am      
We had each other that was all 
    Em         Am      
Just she and I together 
     F               G 
Like it was meant to be 
C                 Am 
And when she was lonely 
F                 G 
I was there to comfort her 
      Em  Am    G         C    
And I knew that she loved me 

Am               G    
So the years went by 
   Em        Am   
I stayed the same 
   Em            Am   
But she began to drift away 
G          Am 
I was left alone 
Fm             Cm 
Still I waited for the day 

When she'd say 
Fm      Cm         G 
I will always love you 

C          Am 
Lonely and forgotten 
F                    G 
Never thought she'd look my way 
Em                       Am 
And she smiled at me and held me 
F                     G 
Just like she used to do 

C              Am 
Like she loved me 
F              G 
When she loved me 

C              Am 
When somebody loved me 
F                 G 
Everything was beautiful 
Em             Am 
Every hour we spent together 
F                G 
Lives within my heart 

     G         C 
When she loved me
