[Verse 1]
(backing vocals only on repeat)
E                   G#m
  You didn't have to be so nice
                                  (be so nice)
A                        A/B
  I would have liked you anyway
                                (would have liked you anyway)
E                        G#m
  If you had just looked once or twice
                                               (once or twice)
A                    A/B
  And gone upon your quiet way
                            (quiet way)

[Chorus]
   A    Amaj7     A6      Amaj7            E        (Esus4 - E)
Today I said the time was right for me to follow you
A   Amaj7     A6     Amaj7  E
  I knew I'd find you in a day or two
 B
And it's true

[Verse 2]
You came upon a quiet day
You simply seemed to take your place
I knew that it would be that way
The minute that I saw your face

[Verse 3]
And when we've had a few more days
                  (when we've had a few more days)
I wonder if I'll get to say
               (wonder if I'll get to say)
You didn't have to be so nice
                         (be so nice)
I would have liked you anyway
                         (would have liked...)

[Chorus 2]
Today  I  said  the  time  was  right for me to follow you
(...today     said that   the time   was right        to follow you)
 I knew   I'd        find  you  in a day or two
(I knew    that I   would find   you in a day or two)
And it's true

[Verse 1]
(backing vocals only on repeat)
E                   G#m
  You didn't have to be so nice
                                  (be so nice)
A                        A/B
  I would have liked you anyway
                                (would have liked you anyway)
E                        G#m
  If you had just looked once or twice
                                               (once or twice)
A                    A/B
  And gone upon your quiet way
                            (quiet way)
