(Not) Meant To Be

G           C
I thought I saw your face
G           C
In a barrom haze of grace
G        C                   G
I always thought you were so kind
             C                  D
Maybe you'll drink some red red wine
                    C
It'll make you feel fine
                       D
But it'll give you the blues
                         C
When you wake up in your shoes
              G       C  G ...
And no one is around.

I thought I heard your voice
But it wasn't by my own choice
Thought you'd stand by me
But that ain't way things were meant to be
I had to be set free
But that was long ago
And I thought you oughta know
That I think I'm over this.

	D
	You are past me now
	      C
	But I wonder bout your days
	         D
	Has your head cleared of its confusion
	       C
	Do you still have mixed up ways
	  D
	I hope to God the Best for you
          C
	Whatever that may be
	  D
	I couldn't help you cope with life
	     C                      G   C  G ...
	Some things aren't meant to be.

I thought I tasted your lips
On someone else's kiss
It reminded me of you
But it didn't give me them old time blues
Like it used to do
Cause I guess time has a way
Of healing every day
And my wounds are healing well.

I thought I felt your touch
Come over me just like a hush
I never thought I'd see the day
When you get up and walk away
But I'm glad you didn't stay
Because I'm better off now
Cause you weren't the right gal
To bring out the best in me.
