      WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT   Doug Stone

Intro chords  D G D G A
D                        G
He sends her roses and line he composes
 D        G     A 
Things a lady loves
      D                           G
Well he's there to hold her when she needs a shoulder 
D             G    A
If life gets too rough
    G                           D
Oh now that she's left I keep kicking myself
      G                     D
When-ever I start thinking back
    G                  D
He says he needs her tells her he loves her
G          A            D
Why didn't I think of that
D                              G
When she gets down well he's always around her
D              G     A 
He makes her smile again
D                          G
He mends her heartaches Remembers her birthdays
     D       G       A 
And tries to be a friend
G                            D
Now that she's gone I know what I did wrong
      G                D
It's all so simple in fact
G                       D
He says he wants hers can't live without her
G          A            D  
Why didn't I think of that
Bm               A        G             D
Oooo I've been watching every move he makes
Bm               A          G           
Oooo I've been thinking it could have been different somehow
Bm                        A
If I'd known what I know now
D                             G
He sings her love songs and tells her his love's strong
D            G        A 
Things she needs to know
D                        G
He tries to please her Calls her for no reason
D        G    A  
Just to say hello
     G                    D
He says he loves her and he'll never leave her
    G                     D 
And I never will get her back
   G                       D
I did my best thought of everything else
G          A           D
Why didn't I think of that
Bm               A        G             D
Oooo I've been watching every move he makes
Bm               A          G           
Oooo I've been thinking it could have been different somehow
Bm                        A
If I'd known what I know now
