You Didn't Have to Go All the Way

	  		
 E                                                           F# 
Well I knew you was goin', but you didn't have to go all the way 
       A                  B                E 
Right out of my life and into his arms to stay 
                                                           F# 
You got tired of me, but you were supposed to be back some day 
   A                           B                         E 
I knew you was goin', but you didn't have to go all the way
 
 E 
Well, you said you needed time for a little peace of mind 
          F# 
You'd be back in a week or so 
          B 
And then a week turned into a month or two 
         E                  B 
Now it's been about a year ago 
 E 
And all the time I believed you still wanted me 
            F# 
But he was a workin' on you every day 
   A                           B 
I knew you was goin', but you didn't have to go all the way 
 
 
Chorus 
 
Instrumental 
 
Well, I knew you was goin', but I never was a knowin' 
That you'd ever wanna go that far 
And now you got a man with a gold weddin' band 
Tellin' everyone how happy you are 
If I'd a ever known you were never comin' home 
I'd a never let you go that day 
I knew you was a goin', buy you didn't have to go all the way 
 
Chorus 
 
Db  A                             B 
   I knew you was goin', but you didn't have to go all the way
