Intro: D
 
Verse 1:
  D
I knew that you loved me
         A            G            D
When you walked me to class in the dark
  D
I knew that you loved me
         A          G          D
When you ran to the store for a card
    G                          Gm
You couldn't find a pen so you asked someone sweetly
    E7
You wrote out a note and you ran back to meet me
    Em7
And gave it to me on the Bridge
               A
I said I would never forget this
            D
And I never did
 
Verse 2:
  D
I knew that you loved me
         A              G             D
When you walked me back home one night
  D
I knew that you loved me
       A           G           D
When I saw that my shoe was untied
    G                           Gm
You bent down to tie it in the middle of the street
          E7
There was snow everywhere, it was turning to sleet
      Em7
But I knew when you looked up at me
         A
This was where I was meant to be
 
Chorus:
   D
So why?
            Em
Why did you have to go?
            G                  D
Why did you have to go so soon?
D
Why?
            Em7
Why did you leave me there?
            G                E7   E
Why did you leave me without you?
          G       Em    D
Why did I think I knew?
 
Verse 3:
  D
I knew that you loved me
        A          G                D
But you told me we just weren't right
      D
And I knew that I loved you
       A              G               D
When I couldn't fall asleep that night
  G                         Gm
I miss hearing all of your favorite songs
      E7                                                 Em
And I wish I could tell you, "turn it all off," one more time
                                   A
And everyone laughs and then it is quiet
 
Chorus:
D
Why?
            Em
Why did you have to go?
            G                  D
Why did you have to go so soon?
    D
And why?
            Em
Why did you leave me there?
            G                E7   E
Why did you leave me without you?
          Em
Why did I think I knew?
