Well, she d[C]idn't look as pretty as some o[F]thers I have k[C]nown,
And she wasn't good at conversation [F]when we were al[G7]one.
But she h[F]ad a way of m[G7]aking me beli[C]eve that I belo[Am]nged.
And it f[F]elt like coming h[G7]ome when I f[C]ound her.
Chorus:
[C7]Cause she br[F]ightened up the [G7]day like the e[C]arly morning [Am]sun
And she m[F]ade what I was [G7]doing seem worthw[C]hile.
[C7]It's the c[F]losest thing to l[G7]iving that I g[C]uess I've ever k[Am]nown.
And it m[F]ade me want to s[G7]mile when I lo[C]ved her.
'Cause she s[C]eemed to be so proud of me, just w[F]alking, holding h[C]ands,
And she didn't think that money was the [F]measure of a [G7]man.
And we s[F]eemed to fit together wh[G7]en I h[C]eld her in my a[Am]rms.
And it l[F]eft me feeling w[G7]arm when I lo[C]ved her.
Chorus:
[C7]Cause she br[F]ightened up the d[G7]ay like the e[C]arly morning [Am]sun
And she m[F]ade what I was d[G7]oing seem worthwh[C]ile.
[C7]It's the c[F]losest thing to l[G7]iving that I g[C]uess I've ever k[Am]nown.
And it m[F]ade me want to s[G7]mile when I l[C]oved her.
I know s[C]ome of us were born to cast our f[F]ortunes to the w[C]ind,
And I guess I'm bound to travel down a r[F]oad that never e[G7]nds.
But I k[F]now I'll never l[G7]ook upon the li[C]kes of her a[Am]gain.
And I'll n[F]ever underst[G7]and why I lost[C] her.
