Delbert McClinton - You Were Never Mine

Intro: G  D  C  G 

G                        D
I saw someone again today who remembered me and you
C                                    G   D
They asked all the same old questions, I gave the same excuse
G                                      D
They said, "What a shame, what a shame, to lose a love so fine"

Am          Em      Am        Em
But I never lost you, I never lost you
Am      Em     D C        G     
I never lost you, you were never mine


G                  D
I kept on believing what I wanted to believe
C                   G            D
The unspoken promises that you could never keep
G                   D
But it's a sin, oh, it's a sin to tell yourself a lie

Am          Em      Am        Em
But I never lost you, I never lost you
Am      Em     D C        G     
I never lost you, you were never mine


D               G                 C  B  D
Did you give me all that you gave me 
D                        G    C  B  A  
just because I needed you
A                                          G
But when I needed, all your love completely 
C                         D
was it more than you could do


G                          D
Sometimes deep in the night when I hold you in my dreams
C                                   G          D
I get lost in your loving touch baby, I can't believe how real it seems
G                      D
And I know, yes I know, I'll have you till the end of time

Am             Em      Am               Em
'Cause I never lost you, I never really lost you
Am      Em     D C              G
I never lost you 'cause you were never mine

Am      Em       Am              Em
I never lost you, I never really lost you
Am          Em     D C        G
How could I lose you, you were never mine
