[Verse 1]
C
I can't say it's nice to meet you
Or that I ever wanted to
F G C
But it was bound to happen in the end
C
Now that we're face to face
All that I can say
F G C
Is I'm sorry for you, my friend
[Chorus]
Dm
But you took him for granted
Em
You didn't understand him
F G
I don't think you can 'cause you're a fool
C
And you just kept on goin'
Without even knowin'
F G C
You were throwin' away a precious jewel
[Instrumental]
F | G | C | C |
[Verse 2]
C
He was yours to hold
With a heart as pure as gold
F G C
Full of love you could've seen if you weren't blind
C
And for the life of me
Lord knows I just can't see
F G C
Why he stayed with you all that time
[Chorus]
Dm
But you took him for granted
Em
You didn't try to understand him
F G
You don't know what you were missin', but I do
C
And now I get to hold him
You didn't even know it
F G C
You were throwin' away a precious jewel
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Dm
But you took him for granted
Em
You didn't try to understand him
F G
You don't know what you were missin', but I do
C
And now I get to hold him
You didn't even know it
F G C
You were throwin' away a precious jewel
F G (C)
You were throwin' away a precious jewel
