I Thought It Was You
By Doug Stone
D A
I called your name out loud
G A D
To a stranger yesterday
D A
When she turned around
G A D
I said "I'm sorry" and just walked away
G D
From a distance she had that look
G G/F# Em A
And for a second or two
Chorus:
D D/F#
I thought it was you
G A D
Took a moment to catch my breath
G A G
Try to brace myself
A D D/F#
Still don't have a clue
G A D
On how to leave your memory behind
G A Bm7
After all this time
G G/F# Em
I hear there's one special love in each life
D
And I must look like a fool
G A D
I thought it was you
I still drive by your house
Taking trips down memory lane
We had our future worked out
At least we did on that old porch swing
Today in my rearview mirror
I saw an old Malibu
Chorus
I thought it was you
I thought it was you
Why couldn't it be you
