Just A Girl I Used To Know By Jim Kenyon


Verse 1


.


[Am] Just sitting here thinking about the past


[Am] things that matter, things that didn’t last


[E] good times that won’t leave my mind,


a [Am] love thatgot left behind


.


Chorus




[Dm] I still feel her lips, [Am]pressed on mine


[Dm] they're just a memory [Am] lost in time


[Dm] We were drifting like [Am] clouds in the sky


we [E] got so lost, it's was hard to even [Am] try


.


Verse 2


.


[Am]She's everything I thought I'dneed


[Am]One look in her eyes, I could hardly breathe


[E]along the way we just couldn't see


that [Am] time and distance wouldn't let us be


.




Chorus


.




[Dm] I still feel her lips, [Am]pressed on mine


[Dm] they're just a memory [Am] lost in time


[Dm] We were drifting like [Am]clouds in the sky


we [E] got so lost, it's was hard to even [Am] try


.




Verse 3



.


[Am]maybe someday we’ll meet again


[Am] share some drinks and remember whens


[E] talk about what we left behind


and maybe [Am]fall in love, if we find the time


.




Chorus


.




[Dm] I still feel her lips, [Am]pressed on mine


[Dm] they're just a memory [Am] lost in time


[Dm] We were drifting like [Am] clouds in the sky


we [E] got so lost, it's was hard to even [Am] try


.


outgo


.




[Dm] there ain't no blame, [Am] ain’t no right,


[Dm] just two lost souls caught [Am] in the lights


[Dm] we were in love, but we [Am] let it go


And [E] now she's just a girl, I used to [Am] know


And [E] now she's just a girl, I used to [Am] know


.




(real slow)




And [E] now she's just a girl, I used to [Am] know


.





The price of anything, is the amount of life you exchange for it.   - H.D. Thoreau
Your vision is not limited by what your eye can see, but what your mind can imagine.
Make your life count, and the world will be a better place because you tried.
"Use the talents you possess, for the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except only the the best." - Henry Van Dyke
