I Guess You Had To Be There
By Lorrie Morgan
Hello, [D]honey, how was [D7]your day
Well, you're [G]sure in a good mood tonight
Oh, by the [A]way, I was downtown this afternoon
And I [D]saw the most amazing [A]sight
Through the [D]window of a [D7]small café
I saw a [G]man and a [G/F#]woman holdin' [Em]hands
And they [A]looked so in love it took my breath away
Can't you [D]see it, don't you under[A]stand?
Chorus:
Well, I guess you had to[D] be there
you really had to [G]be there[Gm]
Some things you just can't ex[D]plain
It's just not the [A]same
I guess you had to [G]be there[D][A]
I just stood there my heart poundin'
I couldn't move, all I could do was stare
I kept remembering when we used to look like that
Two people with so much to share
They were talkin' and they were laughin'
Just like we used to do every day
And then he kissed her tenderly
What's the matter, you don't have much to say
Chorus
Bridge:
And [G]as I watched you with your new love
I haven't [D]seen you that happy in years
We've drifted [G]so far apart and it's [Bm]hard to admit it
But [G]there's nothin' left for you [A]here (so I guess)
Chorus
[A]I guess you had to [G]be there
