[Am]
[F] [G]
[Dm] [Am]
[F] When I saw her standing there, with [G] her bright eyes and shining [F] hair, she [Am] was looking back at me.
[G] [F] Some are meant to sing, [G] some are meant to talk, and [F] some [D] aren't meant to say a [Am] thing.
[F] But when she opened up her [C] mouth [F] and that [G] sweet voice came out, I [F] lost [Am] track of my own name.
Now she's [F] found herself and I lost mine, and [G] I'm just another [D] guy [F] who can't [Am] give her anything.
[F] [G]
[Dm] [Am] Well [F]
the directory old bro [G] to his youth, just like [Dm] it was [Am] money in the bank.
[F] Lord knows I can't change, [G] sounds better in song [Dm] than it [Am] does with hell to pay.
[Fm] I might as well have slapped the [C] ring on her [G] finger from the window [F] of a [Am] van as it drove away.
Cause now she's [F] found herself and I lost mine, [C] and [G] I'm just another [Dm] guy who can't [Am] give her anything.
[F] [G]
[Dm] [Am]
[F] [G]
[F] [Am] I'm
[C] just another guy who can't give her anything.
Dreams are [G] given to [F] you when you're young [G] enough to dream them, [Dm] before they can [Am] do you [D] any [Am] harm.
[B]
[F] They don't start to hurt unless [G] you try to hold on to them, [Dm] after [Am] seeing what [Dm] they [Am] really are.
[F] She used to dream on with me [G] every single crazy one, [Am] till this started hurting her too.
Now she's got some of her own, [F] and now growing mean might [G] be the best thing for her, she's [Am] a hurdon.
[F] [G]
[Dm] [Am] [Dm]
[F] [G] [Dm]
[Am] [D] [Am] [D] [Am]
[F] A light that's meant to shine as [G] bright as hers can't be kept [F] in the [Am] shadows for too long.
[F] A heart that wants to live, and a [G] soul that wants to give [Dm] can't just [Am] sit at home alone.
[F] Lost she gave me everything, I [G] never wanted anything, [Dm] I couldn't [Am] give just what was inside of me.
Now she's [F] found herself and I lost mine, and I'm [G] just another guy [D] who can't give her anything.
[Am] [D] [Am] Now [F] she's found herself and I lost mine, and [G] I'm just another guy [Dm] who [Am] can't give her anything.
[F] Uh [G]
[Dm] [Am]-huh.
