D5              D5  
Hello, honey, how was your day 
             G5  
Well, you're sure in a good mood tonight 
           A5              
Oh, by the way, I was downtown this afternoon 
      D5                    A5 
And I saw the most amazing sight 
            D5           D5 
Through the window of a small caf? 
        G5         G5          E5 
I saw a man and a woman holdin' hands 
         A5 
And they looked so in love it took my breath away 
          D5                      A5 
Can't you see it, don't you understand? 


                        D5 
Well, I guess you had to be there 
                  G5         G5 
you really had to be there 
                             D5 
Some things you just can't explain 
                  A5 
It's just not the same 
                   G5         D5  A5 
I guess you had to be there  
 
I just stood there my heart poundin' 

I couldn't move, all I could do was stare 

I kept remembering when we used to look like that 

Two people with so much to share 

They were talkin' and they were laughin' 

Just like we used to do every day 

And then he kissed her tenderly 

What's the matter, you don't have much to say 
 
Chorus 
 
Bridge: 
    G5 
And as I watched you with your new love 
          D5 
I haven't seen you that happy in years 
              G5                     B5 
We've drifted so far apart and it's hard to admit it 
    G5                            A5 
But there's nothin' left for you here (so I guess) 
 
Chorus 
A5                  G5         
I guess you had to be there
