Stayed up late; watched old movie; wrote song... Played on a Santa Cruz OM/PW tuned to 'G'

TexScratch

Retired military solo artist; Tex/Americana/Folk singer/songwriter. 'Scratch' is my military handle and TexScratch a stage name just for the purpose of having a stage name, I suppose... Let's Talk Guild (LTG) guitar forum friends inspired many tunes and the inclination to purchase far too many Guild Guitars over the years...

Wasn't Looking for You©
Ken Smith (02/28/2012)
(Capo three frets to 'G')

      
Gsus4           Bm                                 D                                  C	
So long ago he doesn't remember; best he recalls it was a night in December
Gsus4                    D                                     C
He's pretty sure, He wasn't looking for you
Gsus4                         Bm                                 D                                  C		
The night was cold; temperature freezing; Walking the hallways, no particular reason
Gsus4                                          D                                     C	
She looked up from her book; He said "I read that one too"

D                             C               Gsus4, C, Gsus4             D                            C      Gsus4, C, Gsus4
A tear in her eye told him something was wrong; and one on her cheek where it didn't belong
  
Gsus4                         Bm                                 D                                  C	
Coulda walked by; shoulda known better, but if he had done so; he'd never have met her
Gsus4                       D                                         C
A sucker for tears and a comforting place to confide

Guitar interlude

Gsus4                                     Bm                            D                                  C	
Two hearts aching greatly; seeking their cover; Never intending to discover a lover 
Gsus4                    D                                     C
No questions to ask when asking doesn't seem right
Gsus4                                Bm                                 D                                       C		
A road never traveled, a path never crossed, will never leave memories that never get lost
Gsus4                                   D        C	
They carry their troubles into the night

D                             C               Gsus4, C, Gsus4             D                            C      Gsus4, C, Gsus4
The years pass on by leaving only a trace; of the look in her eye and the tear on her face 

Gsus4                            Bm                            D                                  C	
Moments shared with passionate laughter, missing before and gone ever after
Gsus4                             D                    C
Fiction or truth;  they haven't a clue...
Gsus4                              Bm                             D                                       C		
Smiles linger on in two hearts growing old; a book they once read and warmth in the cold
Gsus4                                   D        C	
He's pretty sure he wasn't looking for you
Gsus4                                   D        C	
She's pretty sure she wasn't looking for you
Gsus4                                   D        C	
On a cold cold night in December, when nothing else would do
Gsus4                                   D        C	
Once upon a time a book meant for two
