[Intro]
| Db | Db |
[Verse 1]
Db I knew someone long ago Ebm7 She wasn't there and then she was Ab7 Ebm7 Db That lightning hit the ground without a warning Db She would laugh and I would laugh Ebm7 Somehow that sound became a day Ab7 Ebm7 Db Day turned into night and night to morning
[Chorus]
Ebm7 If she ever comes back around Db For something she forgot Ebm7 Ab Or maybe take me for a ride Ebm7 I don't get taken by surprise anymore Ab7 I don't get taken by surprise anymore
[Verse 2]
Db I knew someone long ago Ebm7 Although it feels like yesterday Ab7 Ebm7 Db She would look me in the eye and say whatever Db I know this kind of moon Ebm7 It looks too full to come back down Ab7 Ebm7 Db And I've seen a couple suns that set forever
[Chorus]
Ebm7 If she ever comes back around Db Just to slam an open door Bbm7 Ab Or to lay her hand in mine Ebm7 I don't get taken by surprise anymore Ab7 I don't get taken by surprise anymore Ebm7 I don't get taken by surprise
[Verse 3]
Db I knew someone long ago Ebm7 Whether I wanted to or not Ab7 Ebm7 Db We never said goodbye that I remember Db She never knew how much she gave Ebm7 How much she made and left behind Ab7 Ebm7 Db I never knew how much I had to surrender
[Chorus]
Ebm7 If she ever comes back around Db To see if I'm still sore Bbm7 Ab Or just make me feel alive Ebm7 I don't get taken by surprise anymore Ab I don't get taken by surprise anymore Ebm7 I don't get taken by surprise anymore Ab I don't get taken by surprise Ebm7 I don't get taken by surprise Ab I don't get taken by surprise
[Outro]
