   F                        A# F
I didn't mean to treat you so bad
A#             F       C
You shouldn't take it so personal
   F                      A#  F
I didn't mean to make you so sad
A#        F               C
You just happened to be there, that's all
Dm                                    Am
When I saw you say "goodbye" to your friend and smile
Gm                         F
I thought that it was well understood
Dm                             Am          Gm
That you'd be coming back in a little while
                                     A#           C
I didn't know that you were saying "goodbye" for good

Chorus:
      F         C     A#               F
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
A#             F                  C
That you just did what you're supposed to do
 F         C     A#               F
Sooner or later, one of us must know
A#             F               C
That I really did try to get close to you

I couldn't see what you could show me
Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
I couldn't see how you could know me
But you said you knew me and I believed you did
When you whispered in my ear
And asked me if I was leavin' with you or her
I didn't realize just what I did hear
I didn't realize how young you were

Chorus:
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
You just did what you're supposed to do
Sooner or later, one of us must know
That I really did try to get close to you

I couldn't see when it started snowin'
Your voice was all that I heard
I couldn't see where we were goin'
But you said you knew an' I took your word
And then you told me later, as I apologized
That you were just kiddin' me,
you weren't really from the farm
An' I told you, as you clawed out my eyes
That I never really meant to do you any harm

Chorus:
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
You just did what you're supposed to do
Sooner or later, one of us must know
That I really did try to get close to you
