[G]You give your [C]hand to me, and then you say, “Hello,”
And I can [F]hardly speak, [Fm]my heart is beating so;
And any[C]one can tell [A]you think you [Dm]know me well, [G]
But you don’t [E]know me. [A] [Dm] [G]


[G]No, you don’t [C]know the one who dreams of you at night,
And longs to [F]kiss your lips, [Fm]and longs to hold you tight
To you, I’m [C]just a friend; [A]that’s all I’ve [Dm]ever been, [G]
But you don’t [C]know me. [Dm] [Fm] [C]


For [F]I never [Cm]knew the [Em]art of [A#m]making [A]love,
Though my [F]heart ached with [G]love for [C]you;
[F]Afraid and [Cm]shy, I [Em]let my [A#m]chance go [A]by…
The [D]chance you might have loved me, [G]too.


[G]You give your [C]hand to me, and then you say, “Goodbye.”
I watch you [F]walk away [Fm]beside the lucky guy,
To never, [C]never know [A]the one who [Dm]loves you so. [G]
No, you don’t [C]know me. [Dm] [Fm] [C]


For [F]I never [Cm]knew the [Em]art of [A#m]making [A]love,
Though my [F]heart ached with [G]love for [C]you;
[F]Afraid and [Cm]shy, I [Em]let my [A#m]chance go [A]by…
The [D]chance you might have loved me, [G]too.


[G]You give your [C]hand to me, and then you say, “Goodbye.”
I watch you [F]walk away [Fm]beside the lucky guy,
To never, [C]never know [A]the one who [Dm]loves you so. [G]
No, you don’t [C]know me. [Dm] [Fm] [C]


No, [E]you don’t [A]know me. [Dm] [G]
To [C]never, never [Am]know [A]the one who [Dm]loves you so…
No, [Fm]you don’t know [C]me. [Dm] [Fm] [C]
