Topic: Just A Girl I Used To Know

A song I have had in my mind for a while, finally worked on it, so here it is,
Let me know what you think !


Just A Girl I Used To Know By Jim Kenyon


Verse 1


.


[G] Just sitting here thinking about the past


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


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


a [C]love I once had ,but [D]somehow got left [G]behind


.


Verse 2


.


[G]She was everything I thought I'd ever need


[D]One look in her eyes, it was hard to breathe


[Em] still see her smile in the back of my mind,


But [C] now they're just [D] images lost in [G]time


.


Chorus


.


Because now


[Em]she's just a memory, a [C]whisper in the [G]wind,


[Em]ain’t never,ever [C]gonna have her back [G]again


[Em]She was the girl I loved, but [C]somehow let her [G]go,


And [D] now she's just a [C] girl, I used to[G] know






Verse 3


.


[G]We swore we’d love forever, just her and me


[D]but time and distance wouldn't let us be


[Em]started drifting like clouds up in the sky


and[C]the quiet truth is I’m [D]still wondering [G]why


.


Chorus


.


Because now



[Em]she's just a memory, a [C]whisper in the [G]wind,


[Em]ain’t never, ever [C]gonna have her back [G]again


[Em]She was the girl I loved, but [C]somehow let her [G]go,


And [D] now she's just a [C] girl, I used to[G] know


.


Bridge


.


[C]Maybe in another life, we’ll meet [G]again


[C]over coffee share some remember [G]whens


[C]But now the past is gone, and all I can [G]say


Is that I [D]let her slip a[C]way, I let her slip a[G]way.


.


Chorus


.


Because now


[Em]she's just a memory, a [C]whisper in the [G]wind,


[Em]ain’t never, ever [C]gonna have her back [G]again


[Em]She was the girl I loved, but [C]somehow let her [G]go,


And [D] now she's just a [C] girl, I used to[G] know






Outgo




So I can [Em]only raise my glass to the[C] girl that I once [G]loved


And [Em]toast to the memories that [C] I'm dreaming [G]of


She was the [Em] girl that I loved, but [C]somehow let her [G]go,


And [D] now she's just a [C] girl, I used to [G] know


And [D] now she's just a [C] girl,I used to [G] know


Very Slow


And [D] now she's just a [C] girl, I used to [G] know
