A
I once had a love,
        D
A true and lasting love,
      A
But the fool in me,
           E
Came out one night.
          A
And with her loving eyes,
           D
She saw right through my lies.
       A
And she changed the night
 E             A
I stepped across the line.

A
I should've watched that first step.
            D
It was a mighty big step.
     A                E
When i started stepping out of line.
              A
Though she's still loving me,
             D
It's not the way it used to be.
    A         E           A
That first step did something to her mind.

A
I watched her slip away.
          D
A little more everyday.
      A
For my conscience
                  E
Couldn't live with all that shame.
               A
Now she's growing colder
            D
Since the day i told her.
       A
And the love we had
    E        A
Will never be the same.
