D              D7  
Hello, honey, how was your day 
             G  
Well, you're sure in a good mood tonight 
           A              
Oh, by the way, I was downtown this afternoon 
      D                    A 
And I saw the most amazing sight 
            D           D7 
Through the window of a small café 
        G         G/F#          Em 
I saw a man and a woman holdin' hands 
         A 
And they looked so in love it took my breath away 
          D                      A 
Can't you see it, don't you understand? 

                        D 
Well, I guess you had to be there 
                  G         Gm 
you really had to be there 
                             D 
Some things you just can't explain 
                  A 
It's just not the same 
                   G         D  A 
I guess you had to be there  
 
 
I just stood there my heart poundin' 
I couldn't move, all I could do was stare 
I kept remembering when we used to look like that 
Two people with so much to share 
They were talkin' and they were laughin' 
Just like we used to do every day 
And then he kissed her tenderly 
What's the matter, you don't have much to say 
 
Chorus 
 
 
Bridge: 
    G 
And as I watched you with your new love 
          D 
I haven't seen you that happy in years 
              G                     Bm 
We've drifted so far apart and it's hard to admit it 
    G                            A 
But there's nothin' left for you here (so I guess) 
 
Chorus 
 
A                  G         
I guess you had to be there
