 And I should have known better  to
lie  with one as beautiful  as you.  Yeah I should have known
better  to take  a chance on ever  losing  you, But I
thought  you'd understand.  can you forgive me.
I  saw  you walking by  the other
 true I took our love for granted all a-
day  I know  you saw me  you turned away  and I  was lost.
 -long and trying to explain where I went wrong I just dont know.
 You  see__ Ive never  loved no-one  as much as
  I cry__ but tears dont seem to help me carry
you,__  Ive fooled  around but tell  me now just who  is hurting  who?
 on,__ and now there is no chance youll come back home, got too much pride
 And I should have known
better  to lie  with one as beautiful  as you.  Yeah I should have known
better  to take  a chance on ever  losing  you, But I
thought  you'd understand.  can you forgive me?

  La  la la  I  love you  la la la yeah
 And I should have known better  to lie  with one as beautiful  as you
 I hope thats easy enough to follow
 for the chord shapes, in the first collumn I will
 put the chord shapes the book shows. I will put what I
 prefer to play in the second collumn, either because I
 like it more, or because I disagree with the books fingering
 (for Asus4, book actually shows the fingering for A7sus4!)
