Why Didn't I Think Of That
By:  Doug Stone

Key of D
Intro:  D, A, G, A, D, A, G, A

D	     A		G	    A	  D	   G	A
He sends her roses and lines he composes, things a lady loves
     D		   A		 G	     A	      D		G	A
Well he's there to hold her when she needs a shoulder if life gets too
rough
   G		   A		D		 G	A		D
Oh now that she's left I keep kicking myself whenever I start thinking
back
G	   A		D	   G			 A	    D
He says he needs her, tells her he loves her, why didn't I think of
that?

D		A	     G	    A		D	     G	   A
When she gets down well he's always around her, he makes her smile again
D	     A		   G		A	D	      G	   A
He mends her heartaches, remembers her birthday, and tries to be a
friend
G		A	   D			  G	  A	   D
Now that she's gone I know what I did wrong, it's all so simple in fact
     G		A	   D		  G		     A		 D   DA
Well he says he wants her, can't live without her, why didn't I think of
that?


Chorus:
Bm		A	G	  A	  D    DA
Ooh I've been watching every move that he makes
Bm		A	   Em		    D		 G
Ooh I've been thinking, it could have been different somehow
   Em		  D	 A
If I'd known what I know now

D	     A		    G		  A		 D	    G	     A
He sings her love songs and tells her his love's strong, things she
needs to know
D	    A		   G		A	D	G	A
He tries to please her, he calls for no reason, just to say hello
G	   A		 D			   G	   A		D
He says he loves her and he'll never leave her and I never will get her
back
G	 A		  D	     G		      A		 D   DA
I did my best, thought of everything else, why didn't I think of that?

Chorus
sing first verse again in a key a half step up G-G#, A-A#, D-D#
G#	   A#		 D#	     G#			   A#		D#
He says he loves her and he'll never leave her, why didn't I think of
that?
