[Verse 1]
(backing vocals only on repeat)
You didn t have to be so nice
(be so nice)
I would have liked you anyway
(would have liked you anyway)
If you had just looked once or twice
(once or twice)
And gone upon your quiet way
(quiet way)
[Chorus]
(Esus4 - E)
Today I said the time was right for me to follow you
I knew I d find you in a day or two
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)
You didn t have to be so nice
(be so nice)
I would have liked you anyway
(would have liked you anyway)
If you had just looked once or twice
(once or twice)
And gone upon your quiet way
(quiet way)
