Capo 2nd fret.
[   D     A     Em  A]   x2
She said I Dtried Ato mind my own bEmusinessA  
But that sDad look on your face was a chAallenge to my faith
Made me waEmnna chase the dark out of your rAoom
So she smDiled and said hello, Alittle did she know
He would tEmake hold of her soul and never nAever never let go
[   D     A     Em  A]
He was fiDne, Abefore he mEmet herA  
DEyes like faded jeans, soft and blAue and he had seen
EverythinEmg and he had been everywhAere
'til he tDurned his gaze her way, longed to seAe it every day
Heard a voiEmce inside him say "you'll never neAver never be the sDame"A  Em  A

They got fDire Aand they got feEmverA  
DHe was more than fine, Ashe was more than young
And the Emorange setting sun was beautifAul
DEver so at ease, in the sAummer evening breeze
They would tEmalk and they would tease
And never neAver never want to lDeaveA  Em  A  
  GOnce in a wAhile
  GOnce in a bAlue moon
  GThere comes someAbody
  GThere comes someAbody like DyouA  Em  A
