Missed It By A Mile

Lonesome River Band

CAPO 3

INTRO: G – C – G – C

 

G                                           C                                 G                 C

Knowing that someone like you was never gonna change

    G                              C                                 D

I fell in way over my head, and I’ll take that blame

G                                 C                                           G                  Em

Fearing the truth of it all, I hid my tears behind a smile

C                 D                 B                   Em    C       D                     G

Aiming for love, I shot straight for the heart, but I missed it by a mile

 

<CHORUS>

           C                                             Am            D              G

          No more trying, no more crying, no more fooling myself

           C                                              Am                                       D

          I’ve had enough, I’ve given up, I put my heart back on the shelf

          C                                        Am                D                 Em

          I long to feel a love so real, but I knew better all the while

          C                 D                 B                   Em    C       D                     G

          Aiming for love, I shot straight for the heart, but I missed it by a mile

 

G                                               C                                         G                 C

Staring through the window of time, I see reflections of a fool

  G                                     C                                 D

Chasing some crazy old dream that never came true

G                                   C                                    G          Em

Hopelessly blinded by love, I was captured by your --- smile

C                 D                 B                   Em    C       D                     G

Aiming for love, I shot straight for the heart, but I missed it by a mile

 

 

<END>

C                 D                 B                   Em    C       D                    Em  A

Aiming for love, I shot straight for the heart, but I missed it by a mile

C            D                 G

Girl, I missed it by a mile
