How Was I To Know
John Michael Montgomery

        D           Bm       D              Bm
Well I hoped and I prayed I loved you from afar
   D            Bm       D             Bm
I cried and I dreamed wished on every star
       G
But nothing I do got me closer to you
        A                     A7
So I locked all my feelings inside
 D        Bm      D              Bm
Then one night across a crowded room
      D       Bm        D                  Bm
You looked my way your eyes held something new
      G
You walked right up to me Smiled tenderly
     A                     A7
The words came as such a surprize

CHORUS:
(A7)    D                     Bm      E9
How was I to know?  You never let it show
                    G                               Gm    A
What a beauty like you might see in a poor boy like me-ee-ee
A7        D                          Bm     E9
How could I have seen?  You walk out of my dreams
                           G
Shining your light on my sleeping heart
         Gm       A
Into my soul-oul-oul
        Gm    A7      D
How was I-I-I-I   to know?


      D      Bm       D             Bm
You took my hand and led me to the door
     D             Bm      D                  Bm
We talked and we laughed about all the times before
G                                 A                      A7
Two lonely peple so much in love pass like ships in the night

chorus, lead, to ending

ENDING:
A7        D                           Bm
How could I have seen?  You  walk out of my dreams
                            G
Shining your light on my sleeping heart
        Gm        A
Into my soul-oul-oul
        Gm    A
How was I-I-I-I
        Gm    A7    D
How was I-I-I-I to know?
