[Verse 1]
C Em
Everybody needs an anchor
D G
A little something that makes you stay
D
An incentive, someone to fight for
D D D D D C
Cause no one really needs so much space
C Em
A couple years ago I was lonely
D G
I used to think that there was no God
D
But then you looked at me with your blue eyes
D D D D D C
And my agnosticism turned into dust
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
How well you know me
D Dsus4 D
That I don€™t care if the rest don€™t
Em
It doesn€™t matter to me, no ohh
C G
Oh-oh-oh as long as you love me
Am C
* *
As long as we still have each other
[Chorus]
G Am C
I knew we had something
D
From the moment I met you
G Am C
And I knew we had something
D
No one thought it could be true
G Am C
Hey do you believe
D G
Do you believe in destiny?
Am C
*
Cause I do as I did then
When you were only 23
G C G
Pararapa-pararapa pararapa-pararapa pararapa-pararapa
Am
*
Ahh- ahh
[Verse 2]
C Em
God knows that I€™m a good dancer
D G
My feet can move to the music he plays
D
But there were times I asked for an answer
D C
When he was acting in mysterious ways
C Em
There were nights that I stayed up crying
D G
Cause I was certain that things wouldn't change
D
But then you came and I saw you smiling
D C
Just like an angel, so beautifully strange
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
And then you touched me
D Dsus4 D
It's like you were made for me, oh-oh
Em
Like it was all meant to be, oh-oh
C G
And I was sure that you would love me
Am C
* *
And that we'd always have each other
[Chorus]
G Am C
I knew we had something
D
From the moment I met you
G Am C
And I knew we had something
D
No one thought it could be true
G Am C
Hey do you believe
D G
Do you believe in destiny?
Am C
*
Cause I do as I did then
When you were only 23
G C G
Pararapa-pararapa pararapa-pararapa pararapa-pararapa
Am
*
Oh, oh
[Bridge]
Am D
I always thought that I was fine but I was wrong
G C
It was you, that one piece I was missing
Am D
And I could do without you but, it'd be no fun
G C
I found you and life was suddenly easy
Am
*
There ain't no worries now
D
*
There ain't no feeling down
[Chorus]
G Am C
I knew we had something
D
From the moment I met you
G Am C
And I knew we had something
D
No one thought it could be true
G Am C
Hey do you believe
D G
Do you believe in destiny?
Am C
*
Cause I do as I did then
G
*
When you were only 23
