[Dm] [F]
[G] [C]
[F]
[G] [F] [C] I guess [Am] you've heard, [G] I guess [C] you know, in time I'd have [F]
told you [G] but I guess I'm too [C] slow
It's overly [Am] romantic, [G] but I know that it's [C] real
I hope [F] you don't [G] mind if I say what [C] I feel
It's like I'm in [F] somebody [G] else's dream
[F] This could not be happening to [G] me
[C] But [Dm] you were there
You [G] were everything [C] I'd never seen
[F] You [G] woke me up from this [Dm] long and empty [E] sleep
I was [F] alive
[G] and [C] you were there
[Am]
[G] [C]
Don't be [Am] alarmed, [C] no [G] don't be [C] concerned
I don't want [A] to change things, [G] leave them just as [C] they were
I mean nothing's [Am] really different, [G] it's me who feels [C] strange
I'm always lost [A] for words when [G] someone mentions your [C]
name
I know that I'll get over [G] this for sure
[F] I'm not the type of dreams [C] there could be [G] more
[C] But you [Dm] were there
You [G] were everything [C] I'd never seen
[F] You woke [G] me up from [D] this long and empty [E] sleep
I was [F] alive
[G]
[C]
[G] Can I take your [C] smile home with me?
[F] Or the [G] magic in your [Fm] hair?
[Gm] [C]
[G]
[C] The [Am] rain has stopped, [G] the storm [C] has passed
Look at all [Am] the colors, now [C] the [G] sun's here at [C]
last
I suppose that [Am] you believe it, [G] but I want you [C] to know
Part of you [F] stays with me [G] even after [C] you go
Like an actor [F] playing someone [G]
else's scene
This [F]
could not be happening to [G]
me
[C] But you [Dm] were there
You [G] were everything [C] I'd never seen
[F] You [G] woke me up from this [D] long and empty [E] sleep
I was [F] alive
[G]
[Dm]
[E] [F]
[C] [G] I wish you [C] were there
[Am] [G] [C]
