Chorus:
W[E]ell I knew you was goin', but you didn't have to go all the [F#]way
Right o[A]ut of my life and i[B]nto his arms to s[E]tay
You got tired of me, but you were supposed to be back some [F#]day
I k[A]new you was goin', but you d[B]idn't have to go all the w[E]ay
W[E]ell, you said you needed time for a little peace of mind
You'd be b[F#]ack in a week or so
And then a[B] week turned into a month or two
Now it's [E]been about a year a[B]go
A[E]nd all the time I believed you still wanted me
But he was a[F#] workin' on you every day
I k[A]new you was goin', but you d[B]idn't have to go all the way
Chorus
Instrumental
Well, I knew you was goin', but I never was a knowin'
That you'd ever wanna go that far
And now you got a man with a gold weddin' band
Tellin' everyone how happy you are
If I'd a ever known you were never comin' home
I'd a never let you go that day
I knew you was a goin', buy you didn't have to go all the way
Chorus
[Db] I[A] knew you was goin', but you d[B]idn't have to go all the way
