Intro: A9 A9/G#,A9/F# C#m7 A7 DM7 A9/C# CM7/6 E7sus
Woah... oh...
Verse 1:
A9
I was alone not long ago
A9/G# A9/F#
Without a love to call my own
A9/E DM9
I was afraid and thought
A9/C# Bm7 E7sus
It wasn't meant for me
A9
I didn't need anybody else
A9/G# A9/F#
That was what I would tell myself
A9/E DM9 A9/C# Bm7 pause
And I believed that that was how it would be
C#7sus C#7(/F)
I used to think that I was fine
A9/F#
Oh, that I was doing ok
Bm7
I didn't know that I was blind
E7sus E7
I just went on along my way
C#7sus C#7(/F)
I didn't know what I was missing
A9/F#
'Til I felt you tender lips
Bm7
Kissing my fears away
E7sus pause
I'm so glad you're here today
Chorus:
A9 A9/G#
I never had somebody I could lean on
A9/F# C#m7
I never had a shoulder I could cry on
A7 DM7 A9/C#
Till I found you, babe
CM7/6 E7sus
Till I found you
A9 A9/G#
And I never had somebody I would think about
A9/F# C#m7
I never had someone I couldn't do without
A7 DM7 A9/C#
Till I found you, babe
CM7/6 E7sus
Till I found you
Verse 2:
A9 A9/G#
I had been badly hurt before
A9/F#
Ever since then, I would ignore
A9/E DM9
Any chance for love
A9/C# Bm7 E7sus
I thought it was a lie
A9
I learned to rely upon myself
A9/G# A9/F#
And I thought that I was doin' well
A9/E DM9
Until you came with something
A9/C# Bm7
I just can't deny
C#7sus C#7(/F)
I used to think that I was fine
A9/F#
Oh, that I was doing alright
Bm7
I would go on and do my thing
E7sus E7
Everyday and every night
C#7sus C#7(/F)
I didn't know what I was missin'
A9/F#
'Til I felt your tender love
Bm7
Fillin' me up inside
E7sus
I love you with all my might
(Repeat Chorus)
Adlib: Verse chords, until the 2nd Bm7; E7sus (2x)

Coda:
F(M7b5) G(6)
And I never knew how good a love could feel
A9 A9/G# A9/F#
Till I found you babe, woah oh
FM7 G(6) E(7sus) pause
And I never thought a love could be so real
A9
Till I found you
*****Illustrated CHORDS (EADGBe)*****
x = dead (muted) string 0 = open string
A9: x02200 E7sus: 020230 or 022230
A9/G#: 4x2200 DM9: xx0220
A9/F#: 2x2200 FM7b5: 133200
A7: x02020 G6: 3x0430
DM7: xx0222 or x57675 C#7sus: x46474
A9/C#: x4x455 C#7: x46464
CM7/6: x3x455
Notes:
>> I believe the A9 at the coda is done as x07600.
>> A9/G# can be another optional chord.
>> Middle string mutes can be done by the finger pressing the bass string (that's
how I do it).
>> A9/C# is a unique but cool sounding chord here. The regular C#m7 can be substituted for
it if you find it hard to do! CM7 bar chord (x35453) can be substituted for the also
unique CM7/6.
>> And if you manage to use A9/C# and CM7/6, you'll find that they are just easy shifts
since they differ in only 1 string with just 1 fret. You won't need to rearrange the rest
of your fingers. =)
