How Could I Know

Intro: G D C G D

             G                                D
It brings me sadness just remembering getting home
                     Em                           B
From a tiring day of work, she would hold me very tight
                  F#  D
And kiss me tenderly
        G                                D
We sat while, and she'd tell me all the news:
                           Em                              B
How she took the kids to school and she found them at the zoo
                         F#    D
Thorowing peanuts to the bears...


             G                                D
Oh, this remembrance keeps reflecting on my mind
                           Em                        B
When the days ran calm and fine, and I had her by my side,
                     F#  D
Swearing love eternally


     G    C           G
But, hey! How could I know
C             G       D
Love was to go after all this time?
G    C           G
Hey! How could I see
C               G        D              D7
She would leave me after all this time?


             G                       D
Little by little our sky was getting darker,
                        Em                           B
Our dreams were running farther, our smiles becoming harder,
                      F#  D
in the distance of us two
             G                                D
Our loving glaces very rarely they were meeting,
                       Em                              B
We were always, always fleeing from a love we felt was ending,
                      F#   D
still we never said a word


     G    C           G
But, hey! How could I know
C             G       D
Love was to go after all this time?
G    C           G
Hey! How could I see
C               G        D              D7
She would leave me after all this time?


              G                              D
Then one fine morning with a torn and acking heart
                     Em                          B
We decided we should part, for it was late to restart
                  F#   D
A love that never was...

             G                                D
I still can picture: you were standing at the railing,
                       Em                                 B
Saw your taxi that was waiting, Held a tear when you were waving
                   F#  D
your very last goodbye
              G                           D
The kids were with me as your taxi drove away,
                      Em                         B
I had nothing more to say,So I put them all to sleep...
