Lyrics

I knew you be fore.

Took a life time to for (Ab)get,

but as my eyes meet (Ab)yours,

I take

all

I can get.

They (Dbmaj9)light

up the (Eb)shad ows

of my (Fm7)heart,

re turn (Eb)stol en works of (Dbmaj9)art.

Yet (Eb)you can’t dis cern this (Gb)mo ment’s

grace.

But I

still re (Db6)mem ber you

in that big old white Sub ur ban;

and though you (Db)look right past (Db)me with dis re gard,

the (Bb7sus)first

won’t (Dbsus2)hap

pen (Fm)twice.

My gaze shifts to the (Abmaj7)ground.

More a lone than I was (Abmaj7)then.

I have searched (Ab)your eyes,

but (Gb)they don’t com pre hend.

I (Dbmaj9)crawl back in to the (Eb)shad ows

of my (Fm7)heart,

and just (Eb)sit there in the (Dbmaj9)dark,

where you don’t re quite the (Gb)love you (Bbm)still (Fb)take.

But (Ab)I

still re (Dbmaj7)mem ber you

in that big old white Sub ur ban.

And though you (Db)look right past (Db)me with dis re gard,

and al though I’ve (Db)since moved on,

and I’ve been in love a few times,

there’s still a (Db)piece of me (Db)that holds on to you.

’Cause the (Bb7sus)first

won’t (Dbsus2)hap

pen (Fm)twice,

it (Abmaj7)won’t hap pen twice,

it (Ab5)won’t (G5)hap pen twice.

Ooh,

I re (Db6/9)mem ber you

in that big old white Sub ur ban.

And al though you (Dbmaj7)look right past me with

dis re gard,

and al though I’ve (Dbmaj9)since moved on,

and I’ve been in love a few times,

there’s still a (Db)piece of me

(Db)that can’t let go of you.

’Cause the (Bb7sus)first

won’t

hap pen

twice.
