[Verse 1]
C
I thought I knew the girl so well
F C
If she was sad I couldn't tell
I missed the point, I missed the signs
F C
So if she's gone the fault is mine
Dm C
I know, I know a whole lot of little things
Dm C
And even though I confess them one by one
Gsus4 G
She would still be gone
[Chorus]
C
Her eyes are blue, her hair is long
F G C
In '64 she was born in Baton Rouge
F
Her favorite song is "In My Life"
G Am
I memorized her every move
C F
I knew her books, her car, her clothes
C F G F C
But I paid no attention to what mattered most
[Verse 2]
C
I never asked, she never said
F C
And when she cried I turned my head
C
She dreamed her dreams behind closed doors
F C
That made them easy to ignore
Dm C
And I know, I know I missed the forest for the trees
Dm C
And all I have to show oh when she walked out the door
Gsus4 G
The cold facts and nothing more
[Chorus]
C
Her eyes are blue, her hair is long
F G C
In '64 she was born in Baton Rouge
F
Her favorite song is "In My Life"
G Am
I memorized her every move
C F
I knew her books, her car, her clothes
C F G F C
But I paid no attention to what mattered most
[Chorus]
C
Her eyes are blue, her hair is long
F G C
In '64 she was born in Baton Rouge
F
Her father's tall, her mother's gone
G C
She moved out west when she was two
C F
The way she laughed, the way she loved
G C
Oh my God what did I do
