It's turning out just another day

Am G

I took a shower and I went on my way

I couldn't believe my eyes

Standing there i didn't

know what to say

Without one touch

(hold)

We stood there face to face

Chorus 1:

And i was dying

indside to hold you

I couldn't believe

what i felt for you

Dying inside i was dying inside

But i couldn't bring

myself to touch you

Verse 2:

You said hello

then you asked my name

I didn't know if i

should go all the way

Inside i felt my life

have really changed

I knew that it would

never be the same

Standing there i didn't

know what to say

First time looked away

(hold)

when i whispered your name

(Repeat Chorus 1 twice)
