When I Loved Her by Kris Kristofferson
C F C
Well, she didn't look as pretty as some others I have known,
F G7
And she wasn't good at conversation when we were alone.
F G7 C Am
But she had a way of making me believe that I belonged.
F G7 C
And it felt like coming home when I found her.
Chorus:
C7 F G7 C Am
Cause she brightened up the day like the early morning sun
F G7 C
And she made what I was doing seem worthwhile.
C7 F G7 C Am
It's the closest thing to living that I guess I've ever known.
F G7 C
And it made me want to smile when I loved her.
C F C
'Cause she seemed to be so proud of me, just walking, holding hands,
F G7
And she didn't think that money was the measure of a man.
F G7 C Am
And we seemed to fit together when I held her in my arms.
F G7 C
And it left me feeling warm when I loved her.
Chorus:
C F C
I know some of us were born to cast our fortunes to the wind,
F G7
And I guess I'm bound to travel down a road that never ends.
F G7 C Am
But I know I'll never look upon the likes of her again.
F G7 C
And I'll never understand why I lost her.
Chorus:
