Intro:        D       A       D      Bm       A     Ex2
AI don't know what I was thinking 
Bm'Til I was thinking of Eyou 
I don't remember a thing before I Bmopened my eyes 
And you F#mcame into Eview 
AI don't know what I was doing 
BmWhen there was nothing to Edo 
Must've been waiting for someone, baby 
BmNow I can see - I was F#mwaiting for Eyou
I'd Dgive up my sight just to Esee you 
I'd Abeg, I would borrow and Dsteal
I'd Bmcut off my hands just to Atouch you
And Etear out my heart so you'd know how I feel 
There's Dnowhere that I wouldn't Efollow 
There's Anothing that I wouldn't Ddo 
'Cause BmI          Awouldn't wanna be Eme 
If I Adidn't have BmyouE  Bm  F#m  E  
ADriving myself to distraction 
BmUntil you got in my Eway 
I was just whistling Dixie 'til yoBmu struck up the band 
And they F#mstarted to Eplay
AI don't know how I was living
BmUntil you came in my Elife 
I always knew there was something wrong 
Then Bmyou came along 
Baby, F#myou made it Eright
I'd Dgive up my sight just to Esee you 
I'd Abeg, I would borrow and Dsteal
I'd Bmcut off my hands just to Atouch you
And Etear out my heart so you'd know how I feel 
There's Dnowhere that I wouldn't Efollow 
There's Anothing that I wouldn't Ddo 
'Cause BmI          Awouldn't wanna be Eme 
If I Adidn't have BmyouE  Bm  F#m  E  
Solo:      E       A       D       Bm       A       D      E       A       D       Bm     A

AI was alone in the silence
Bm'Til I was hearing your Evoice 
I couldn't see my way clear until you Bmparted the clouds
And you F#mgave me a Echoice 
AI couldn't pick up the pieces 
Bm'Til I was falling Eapart 
I didn't know I was bleeding 
'Til your Bmlove fixed this hole, baby, F#mhere in my Eheart
I'd Dgive up my sight just to Esee you 
I'd Abeg, I would borrow and Dsteal 
I'd Bmcut off my hands just to Atouch you 
And Etear out my heart so you'd know how I feel 
TheDre's nowhere that I wouldn't Efollow 
There's Ano place that I'd rather Dbe
This Bmlife without you would be Ahollow 
This Elove is a gift, and you gave it to me
DAll that I am, you have Emade me 
And Ababy, I know that it's Dtrue 
I'd Bmgive it all up in a Aheartbeat 
Just to Espend every moment with you 
There's Dno place that I wouldn't Efollow 
There's Anothing that I wouldn't Ddo 
'Cause BmI        Awouldn't wanna be Eme
If I didn't have DyouE  A  D  
If I didn't have BmyouA  E  
If I didn't Dhave         E         A          D  BmyouA  E
