[Intro]
| A2 A | A7 | A2 A | A7 |
[Verse]
|A |A7
You tell me that you've never been this way before
|A |A2 A
You tell me things I know that I've heard somewhere
|D |Dm
You're standing in the places, and you're staring down through faces
|A A4 A A2 A |Bm E |A2 A | A7 | A2 A | A7 |
That bring to mind traces of a girl, a girl that I knew somewhere
[Verse]
|A |A7
I just can't put my finger on what it is
|A |A2 A
That says to me watch out, don't believe her
|D |Dm
I can't give any reasons, girl, my thoughts are bound up in a whirl
|A A4 A A2 A |Bm E |A2 A | A7 |
I just can't think who in the world was that girl, I know I met her somewhere
[Bridge]
|Dm |A |
Someway, somehow the same thing was done
|G |E |
Someone somewhere did me the same wrong
[Break]
| A2 A | A7 | A2 A | A7 | D | Dm | A . A4 A A2 A | Bm E | A2 A | A7 | A2 A | A7 |
[Verse]
|A |A7
Well, goodbye dear, I just can't take this chance again
|A |A2 A
My fingers are still burning from the last time
|D |Dm
And if your love was not a game I only have myself to blame
|A A4 A A2 A |Bm E |A2 A | A7 |
For all these things I can't explain, just ask the girl that I knew somewhere
|D |Dm
And if your love was not a game I only have myself to blame
|A A4 A A2 A |Bm E |A2 A | A7 |
For all these things I can't explain, just ask the girl that I knew somewhere
[Outro]
| A2 A | A7 | A2 A | A7 |
(repeat ad infinitum and fade)
