[Verse 1]
(backing vocals only on repeat)
E G#m You didn't have to be so nice
(be so nice)
A A/B I would have liked you anyway
(would have liked you anyway)
E G#m If you had just looked once or twice
(once or twice)
A A/B And gone upon your quiet way
(quiet way)
[Chorus]
A Amaj7 A6 Amaj7Today I said the time was right
E (Esus4 - E) for me to follow you
A Amaj7 A6 Amaj7 E I knew I'd find you in a day or two
BAnd it's true
[Verse 2]
You came upon a quiet day
You simply seemed to take your place
I knew that it would be that way
The minute that I saw your face
[Verse 3]
And when we've had a few more days
(when we've had a few more days)
I wonder if I'll get to say
(wonder if I'll get to say)
You didn't have to be so nice (be so nice)
I would have liked you anyway
(would have liked...)
[Chorus 2]
Today I said the time was right for me to follow you
(...today said that the time was right to follow you)
I knew I'd find you in a day or two
(I knew that I would find you in a day or two)
And it's true
[Verse 1]
(backing vocals only on repeat)
E G#m You didn't have to be so nice (be so nice)
A A/B I would have liked you anyway
(would have liked you anyway)
E G#m If you had just looked once or twice (once or twice)
A A/B And gone upon your quiet way (quiet way)
