I Thought It Was You
By Doug Stone


D                      A
I called your name out loud
     G        A     D 
To a stranger yesterday
D                A
When she turned around 
            G          A           D 
I said "I'm sorry" and just walked away
G                   D
From a distance she had that look
G   G/F#            Em    A
And for a second or two


Chorus:
                 D    D/F#
I thought it was you
       G         A        D 
Took a moment to catch my breath
       G     A G
Try to brace myself
      A            D     D/F#
Still don't have a clue
          G          A        D 
On how to leave your memory behind
      G   A    Bm7
After all this time
               G           G/F#         Em
I hear there's one special love in each life
                       D
And I must look like a fool
  G       A      D
I thought it was you

I still drive by your house
Taking trips down memory lane
We had our future worked out
At least we did on that old porch swing
Today in my rearview mirror
I saw an old Malibu

Chorus

I thought it was you
I thought it was you
Why couldn't it be you
