How Was I to Know John Michael Montgomery
John Michael Montgomery What I Do The Best
[D] [E9] [Em9] [Gm] [A]
Well I hoped and I prayed and I loved you from afar [D]
I cried and I dreamed and I wished on every star [F#m]
But nothing I'd do got me closer to you [G]
So I locked all my feelings inside [A]
Then one night across a crowded room [D]
You looked my way your eyes held something new [F#m]
You walked right up to me and smiled tenderly [G]
And your words came as such a surprise [A7sus] [A7]
CHORUS:
How was I to know, you never let it show [D] [E9]
What a beauty like you might see [Em9]
In a poor boy like me [Gm] [A]
How could I have seen, you walk out of my dreams [D] [E9]
Shine your light on my sleepin' heart [Em9]
And into my soul, How was I to know [Gm] [A7] [Gm] [A7] [D]
You took my hand and led me out the door [D]
We talked and we laughed 'bout all the times before [F#m]
When two lonely people so much in love [G]
Passed like ships in the night [A7sus] [A7]
CHORUS
BREAK: [D] [E9] [Em9] [Gm] [A]
How could I have seen, you walk out of my dreams [D] [E9]
Shine your light on my sleepin' heart [Em9]
And into my soul, How was I... [Gm] [A7] [Gm] [A7]
How was I to know [Gm] [A7]
[D] [E9] [Em9] [Gm] [A] [D]
