[A] [E] [A] [D]
[A] [E] [D] [B] [A]
[E] It was love at [A] first sight, [D] and when I talked [A] to her, it was the [E] beginning of [D] a real good [A] time.
[E] All I knew was [A] her, [D] and when I came [A] around, [E] love had lingered [D] on my [A] mind.
[D]
She [E] said on the [A] telephone, she had [D] wished me well.
I was [E] so alive [A] with the spell.
[D]
[E] Then as I hung up [A] early, I [D] realized I'd [E] been dead [A] for so long.
[E] All my memories [A] of her, like a [D] fading light, I [A] suffer, [E] thinking of our [D] love for so [A] long.
Back [E] in the early [A] days, I [D] saw a lot of [A] her.
She [E] was the coolest [D] girl in town.
[A] [D]
And [E] when I saw her [A] standing there, everything [D] was alright.
I [E] took a journey [A] in my mind, [D]
and [E] as I saw her [A] beauty, she [D] was so kind.
[E] That was [A] a good time.
Every [E] day we met, it was [A] wild.
I [D] felt like a [A] child.
[E] I loved to [D] see her smile.
[A]
And [E] as I played [A] piano, [D] I was so [A] inspired.
I [E] always had a [D] real good [A] time.
[D]
And [E] when last we [A] met, I just [D] can't forget.
I [E] thought for sure I [A] loved her best.
[D]
I [E] just can't [A] ignore her [D] loving response.
I [E] always knew she'd [A] be alright.
She [E] made me think I was [A] okay.
[D] And the love seemed [A] so real.
I [E] still got [D] feelings for her.
[A]
And [E] when I'm on [A] tour, [D] singing about her [A] forever,
[E] I'll remember her blessings and [D] the good times we [A] had.
[D]
I [E] really tried to play the [A] game of love, and I [D] hate to lose.
[E] Maybe I can win [A] somehow.
[D]
And [E] so I'll dream of [A] her for a [D] thousand years,
[E] till I see [A] another girl.
[D]
[E] That's the way it [A] always was.
[D]
[E] That's the way it [A] always was.
[D]
[E] That's the way it [A] always was.
