C                                F       C          Em                        Am
I would've waited forever   If I'd known that you'd be here
F                                                   G7
We could have shared our lives together
F                                       Dm                   G7
And held each other close all through the years.
C                                 F              C         Em                        Am
But I met someone before you  And my heart just couldn't wait
F                                        G7
So no matter how much I adore you
F                                           Dm                G7
I've got to stand behind the promise that I made.

CHORUS:
G7                Am    F                           C
Where were you when I could have loved you?
Am                F                                       G7
Where were you when I gave my heart away?
             F                                 C
All my life I've been dreaming of you
(bassdown)        G7                            Am
You came along one promise too late
(bassdown)        G7                              C
You came along one promise too late.

lead, go to tag.

TAG:
Em                            F
I won't say that I'm sorry that I met you
Em                                F             G7
I can't have you but I never will forget you
