Track 11 of 11 on the album "In A Perfect World" (2007) [Intro] D F#m G A7 [Verse 1]
        D                           F#m
She was sitting at our table at our favorite old cafe

G                                D       A7
Cutting up and laughing with new friends

           D                                 F#m
It was the first time I'd seen her since the day she walked away

Em                                 A7sus4  A7
She noticed me the moment I walked in

           Bm                A7
I saw those brown eyes, that perfect smile

    G             F#m              Esus4  E
The candlelight reflecting off her hair

         Em           A7
Then she acted like I wasn't even...
[Chorus]
   C
...there, in California, sun sinking out of sight

              G
Like I didn't hear her say "I love you" laying on the beach that night

              A#                     C                    D
Like I wasn't standing in that cafe, losing her all over again

               A7sus4    A7
All I could do was stare

          Em           A7         D      F#m    G  A7
While she acted like I wasn't even there
[Verse 2]
  D                                     F#m
I thought I might walk over, then she'd have to say hello

G                                       D   A7
   But then again, what good would that do?

     D                                     F#m
So I motioned to the waitress, "I'll have a coffee to go

    Em                                   A7sus4  A7
And keep the change," I tried to play it cool

           Bm                 A7
But then I heard that voice above the crowd

  G               F#m              Esus4     E
I felt like I was trying to breathe thin air

       Em           A7
As she acted like I wasn't even...
[Chorus]
   C
...there, up in the Rockies, with that diamond in my hand

               G
Like we didn't talk about forever, a picket fence on a little land

              A#                     C                    D
Like I wasn't standing in that cafe, losing her all over again

                A7sus4   A7
All I could do was stare

          Em           A7      Bm        A7
While she acted like I wasn't even there

G                 F#m         Esus4      E7
Surely, I'm still in her heart somewhere

        Em           A7sus4  A7     D     F#m    G  A7  D
But she acted like I wasn't... even there
