Only a Asus4moment, but there was Asomething
[Pre-Chorus]
Didn't Em7know what I was Bm7feeling

The Em7message in the Bm7meaning
When you Asus4feel two hearts are Abeating the same
[Chorus]

When you Gknow what love iEm7s
When you Bm7know what love iAs
When you Gknow what love iEm7s

Yeah, I Em7looked before, but I was far too Bm7scared
But I Em7found my feet, on the ground right Bm7there
Its like you Em7looked inside my head, knew all my Bm7past regrets
Gave me a Asus4healing, some kind of Afreedom
[Pre-Chorus]
Didn't Em7know what I was Bm7feeling
But the aEm7drenaline just Bm7rushed through my veins
