C/g G7'
I can't understand
C/g G7'
She let go of my hand
C/g G7' C Csus4 C
An' left me here facing the wall
C/g G7'
I'd sure like to know
C/g G7'
Why she did go
C/g G7' C Csus4 C
But I can't get close to her at all
Am Em
Though we kissed through the wild blazing nighttime
F G G6 G7
She said she would never forget
C/g G7'
But now mornin's clear
C/g G7'
It's like I ain't here
C/g G7 C
She acts like we never met.
It's all new to me Like some mystery It could even be like a myth But it's hard to think on That she's the same one That last night I was with From darkness, dreams are deserted Am I still dreamin' yet? I wish she'd unlock Her voice once and talk 'Stead of acting like we never met
If she ain't feelin' well Then why don't she tell 'Stead of turnin' her back to my face Without any doubt She seems too far out For me to return to or chase Though her skirt it swayed as the guitar played Her mouth was watery and wet But now something has changed For she ain't the same She just acts like we never have met.
If I didn't have to guess I'd gladly confess To anything I might've tried If I was with her too long Or have done something wrong I wish she'd tell me what it is, I'll run and hide Though the night ran swirling and whirling I remember her whispering yet But evidently she don't evidently she won't She just acts like we never have met.
I'm leavin' today I'll be on my way Of this I can't say very much But if you want me to I can be just like you And pretend that we never have touched And if anybody asks me: "Is it easy to forget?" I say, "It's easily done You just pick anyone And pretend that you never have met."
(The version from Biograph (May 6 1966) and Live 1966 (May 17 1966) is basically the same, only in E major. The recurring riff is played by Robbie Robertson on the frets ----97 and ----75.)
