  42 I can't understand
  43         C/g      G7'
  44 She let go of my hand
  45     C/g          G7'        C    Csus4   C
  46 An' left me here facing the wall
  47     C/g          G7'
  48 I'd sure like to know
  49 C/g         G7'
  50 Why she did go
  51     C/g         G7'             C   Csus4  C
  52 But I can't get close to her at all
  53           Am                              Em
  54 Though we kissed through the wild blazing nighttime
  55     F                    G  G6 G7
  56 She said she would never forget
  57         C/g      G7'
  58 But now mornin's clear
  59      C/g          G7'
  60 It's like I ain't here
  61     C/g          G7    C
  62 She acts like we never met.
  63
  64 It's all new to me
  65 Like some mystery
  66 It could even be like a myth
  67 But it's hard to think on
  68 That she's the same one
  69 That last night I was with
  70 From darkness, dreams are deserted
  71 Am I still dreamin' yet?
  72 I wish she'd unlock
  73 Her voice once and talk
  74 'Stead of acting like we never met
  75
  76 If she ain't feelin' well
  77 Then why don't she tell
  78 'Stead of turnin' her back to my face
  79 Without any doubt
  80 She seems too far out
  81 For me to return to or chase
  82 Though her skirt it swayed as the guitar played
  83 Her mouth was watery and wet
  84 But now something has changed
  85 For she ain't the same
  86 She just acts like we never have met.
  87
  88 If I didn't have to guess
  89 I'd gladly confess
  90 To anything I might've tried
  91 If I was with her too long
  92 Or have done something wrong
  93 I wish she'd tell me what it is, I'll run and hide
  94 Though the night ran swirling and whirling
  95 I remember her whispering yet
  96 But evidently she don't
  97 evidently she won't
  98 She just acts like we never have met.
  99
 100 I'm leavin' today
 101 I'll be on my way
 102 Of this I can't say very much
 103 But if you want me to
 104 I can be just like you
 105 And pretend that we never have touched
 106 And if anybody asks me: &quot;Is it easy to forget?&quot;
 107 I say, &quot;It's easily done
 108 You just pick anyone
 109 And pretend that you never have met.&quot;

 115
 116 <p>The main difference from the album version is the long guitar intro,
 117 which is once interrupted: &ldquo;Oh God! [strumming] Here's the second
 118 verse of it&rdquo;, and later: &ldquo;Does anybody know the first verse of this
 119 song?&rdquo;</p>
 120
 121 <p>The other main difference is that the parts of the following verses
 122 have been mixed:</p>
 123 <pre class="verse">
 124 If she ain't feelin' well
 125 Then why don't she tell
 126 'Stead of turnin' her back to my face

 129 For me to return to or chase
 130 Though the night ran swirling and whirling
 131 I remember her whispering yet
 132 But evidently she don't
 133 And evidently she won't
 134 She just acts like we never have met.

 136 If I didn't have to guess
 137 I'd gladly confess
 138 To anything I might've tried

 154 basically the same, only in E major. The recurring riff is played by
