Capo on 1st Fret
 
Intro: D
 
Verse 1:
D
As sure as the sun will rise  you made your way in to my 
Bm
life had never been so sweet 
G                     G#m
as we fell head first in to our 
D
dreams, hopes, and where we'd go,  we laughed at everything we didn't
Bm
know or care what they would say, 
G                       G#m
just that we had never felt this way
A
about anyone or anything. 
 
Chorus:
D                    F#
I blinked once, I thought twice, 
Bm
I watched you walk away, 
G               G#m
my third strike. 
D                          F#     
If I'd known what I know now, 
Bm
I'd make you stay some way somehow. 
G                            G#m
Make you stay some way somehow. 
 
Interlude: 
D (play this chord for a few measures)
 
Verse 2:
D
I live life day to day  trying to except the change. 
Bm
I cling to every second glance but it's
G               G#m
quick sand. I know I had my
D
chance to treat you right,  now I'll never sleep at night 
Bm
knowing that it's all my
G    G#m
fault. 
A
I can't believe I let you slip  right though my finger tips. 
 
Chorus:
D                    F#
I blinked once, I thought twice,

my third strike.

Make you stay some way somehow.
