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

Re: Country song - SOTM

Nice song! Thanks for sharing     

Music is my reset after long days in healthcare.
Chords, lyrics, and rhythm keep the mind balanced.
Learning songs, sharing progress, enjoying the process.
Strumming for focus, calm, and creativity.
