Ernest Tubb - I cared for you more than i knew

^CYou say it’s better if we drift a^G7part Although you see that it’s breaking my ^Cheart

How can you leave me so lonely and ^G7blue Knowing just how I’ve been counting on ^Cyou

We once was so happy it all seems a ^G7shame And do you feel like that I am to ^Cblame

Dear if I failed you oh please tell me ^G7now And then maybe we can patch it up some^Chow

Now that I’ve lost you the whole world seems ^G7wrong I don’t see how I can face it a^Clone

For I’ve tried so hard to do right by ^G7you And really I cared for you more than I ^Cknew

When I first met you I heard people ^G7say That there’d come a time when you’d treat me this ^Cway

I did not believe them I just let them ^G7rave Determined to stick by you clear to the ^Cgrave

It would have been better had we never ^G7met Then I would not have so much to for^Cget

If I’d only dreamed dear that there’d come this ^G7day Five years I could have used better some ^Cway

^CYou say it’s better if we drift a^G7part Although you see that it’s breaking my ^Cheart

How can you leave me so lonely and ^G7blue Knowing just how I’ve been counting on ^Cyou
