-3*  7  -6  -5*  -6 7 -7* -7*
You did-n't have to be so nice 
-3* 7*   7    -6   -5* -6-3*-3*
I would have liked you an-y-way 
-3* 7  -6  -5*    -6    7  -7*  -7*
If you had just looked once or twice 
-3*  7*  7  -6 -5*  -6 -3* -3*
And gone up-on your qui-et way

Chorus:
7*  7*  7    7   -6  -6    7
To-day said the time was right 
-6  7  -5 -5* -6   7
for me to fol-low you
7* 7    7   -6  -6  7  7 -5* -6  7
I knew I'd find you in a day or two
 7   7*   -7*
And it's true

You came up-on a qui-et day
-3*  7*  7    -6   -5* -6  -3*   -3*
You sim-ply seemed to take your place
-3* 7   -6 -5*  -6   7   -7* -7*
I knew that it would be that way
-3*  7*  7   -6 -5* -6  -3*  -3*
The min-ute that I saw your face

-3*7*  7  -6 -5*  -6 -3* -3*
I won-der if I'll get to say
-3*  7  -6  -5*  -6 7  -7* -7*
You did-n't have to be so nice
-3* 7*   7   -6   -5* -6-3*-3*
I would-‘ve liked you an-y-way
-3* 7  -6   -5*   -6    7  -7*  -7*
If you had just looked once or twice
-3*  7*  7  -6  -5* -6 -3* -3*
And gone up-on your qui-et way
