I knew you when you were lonely        I knew you when you were only
           Ab            Bbm          F               
A girl all alone without love          I knew you when

I knew you when you were sad and all alone
F#                    Ab                        Bbm
You didn't have anyone that you could call your own
                Ab
I knew you when your heart belonged to only me
F#                          F
I used to be your only love  Now your love is just a memory

A girl all alone without love          I knew you when

Bbm              Ab
I knew you when - we used to have a lot of fun
F#                                  Ab                     Bbm
But someone else could offer more      Now I'm the lonely one
               Ab
I knew you when you were just a scared little girl
F#                          F
But that was many tears ago  Now you've come up in the world
