Track 9 of 10 on the album "Gene Watson’s Beautiful Country" (1977) [Intro] A D E7 A [Verse 1]
A                  A7                D           A
   Since the day I met you, I've been living in a dream

F#m     F       A         B7    Bm       E  E7
Knowing all the while our love was wrong

   A                    A7                 D             B7
And though the times you mentioned him were few and far between

A               D         E7  A        E7
I knew we could never love for long
[Verse 2]
A                  A7                D                A
I shouldn't give a second thought of how it might have been

F#m         F     A       B7          Bm   E  E7
I shouldn't even miss you when you're gone

A                A7                    D               B7
I knew the day would come when you'd go running back to him

A               D         E7  A
I knew we could never love for long
[Bridge]
 D                                      A
I knew at times you missed him 'cause I heard you when you cried

 B7                                E
I guess that he was always on your mind

      D                                     A
But I thought that I could take it when you finally said goodbye

    B7                            E      E7
Oh, how could I have ever been so blind?
[Verse 3]
A                A7                D                A
   I could never blame you 'cause I knew it from the start

    F#m     F      A     B7      Bm  E  E7
You never really tried to lead me on

  A                A7              D            B7
So tell me why this empty feeling's tearing me apart

     A               D         E7  A
When I knew we could never love for long

  A                A7              D            B7
So tell me why this empty feeling's tearing me apart

     A               D         E7  D         A
When I knew we could never love for long
