This one's called the reason why it's a bit early in the set
But I think we'll get away [C] with it now
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
What _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
did I do
_ _ Before _ the day I set my eyes on [C] _ you _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ I
Just working at the things I [C] had to do and then [G] I _ _
I _ _ _ [C] was captured heart and soul
_ _ [F] You gave me so _ much
[C] _ _
_ [G] _ _ You're _ [Dm] _ _
[C] the reason [G] why _ [C] I'm this and
In the [F] night _ _ [C] and still the [G] softest kisses _ _ [C]
while you _ sleep
_ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] Just _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
looking at a _ [Eb] photograph of _ _ [Bb] you
_ _ [C] _
Touching the _ frown
[Gm] _ _
Tell me what you read between the [C] lines _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] Everything's all right
And I know sometimes I act a little _ strange
[Cm] You [G] bring me so much joy
_ _ [C] Conversations make me smile
_ _ [F] How could I love you?
[A] _ _
_ _ [G] _ You're _ [C] _
the reason [G] why _ [C] I speak with foolish [F] pride
_ _ [Dm] _
Whenever _ [G] there's a chance to [C] show you _ around
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] At _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
the very _ moment [Eb] you were _ [Bb] right
_ And [Bbm] I _
[Ab] can't [Db] imagine life was [Ab] ever [Eb] lonely
_ _ No, I [Ab] _
can't [Db] imagine life before [F] _ _
_ [Eb] you
Your _ [Cm] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ mask _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
You're the [G] reason why [C] I'm holding on [F] so _ tight
_ [C]
I'm [G] never wanna let [C] this feeling go
_ _ _ [Fm] And the other reason [Bb] _ why _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ my heart just could not sing [Eb] For you
_ [Bb] _ _ What [Gm] _
did I do
_ _ Before _ the [G] day I set my _ eye
_ _ _ On _ _ _ you _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] Organize _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
