I Didn't Think She Cared

Key: G | Tempo: Mid-uptempo rockabilly groove

[Verse 1]
G
She walked in cool as a summer breeze,
C G
Blue jeans tight, movin’ with ease.
Em
Smiled like she had nothin’ to hide,
A D
But I shoulda seen the fire inside.


[Verse 2] G
She leaned in close, whispered real low,
C G
Said, "Boy, there’s things you don’t wanna know."
Em
I laughed it off, thought it was sweet,
A D
Never saw the pain run so deep.

[Chorus]
C G
I didn’t think she cared, no,
D G
Didn’t see that lightning in her soul.
C G
One wrong word, one bad move,
D Em
And that love turned into something cruel.
A C D
I didn’t think she cared... but she did.

[Verse 3]
G
It wasn’t a fight, it wasn’t a game,
C G
It was a love I took in vain.
Em
She carried hope like a fragile flame,
A D
And I was the fool who lost the game.

[Bridge]
Em
I thought love was safe and sound,
C
Never knew how fast it could turn around.
Am
Now I’m watchin’ tail lights fade,
D
Wishin’ I had seen the weight…

[Chorus Repeat]
C G
I didn’t think she cared, no,
D G
Didn’t see that lightning in her soul.
C G
One wrong word, one bad move,
D Em
And that love turned into something cruel.
A C D
I didn’t think she cared... but she did.

[Outro]
C G
She left me there with nothin’ to say,
D G
Didn’t know love could end that way.
Em C
Now I carry the weight instead,
A D G
Of the words I said... and the love that's dead.
