INTRO C C9 F C

I thought I knew, the girl so well
if she was sad, I couldn’t tell
I missed the point, I missed the sings
so if she’s gone, the fault is mine
I know, I know, a whole lot of little things
and even though, I could face them one by one
she would still be gone

Chorus
Her eyes are blue
her hair is long[C/E]
sixty four
she was bo[C/G]rn
in Batton rouge
the very song[C/E]
is in my life
I meorized her[C/G] ev’ry move
I knew her books[C/G], her car, her clothes
[C/E] [C/G]
but I paid, no attention to what mattered most

Verse 2
I never asked, she never said
And when she cried I turned my head
She dreamed her dreams behind closed doors
That made them easy to ignore
And I know, I know, I missed the forest for the trees
Now all I have to show
Or would she walk out the door?
The cold facts and nothin’ more

Chorus

Chorus 2
Her eyes are blue, her hair is long, sixy four
she was born, in Batton Rouge,
Her father’s tall, her mother’s gone,
She moved out when she was two,
The way she laughed, the way she loved,
Oh my God what did I do?
