Verse 1
ACDFCACC
I used to trust nobody, trusting even less their words,
ACDFCACC
Until I found somebody, there was no one I pre-fered ,
ACDFCAC
My heart was made of stone, I saw only misty grey,
ACDFCACC
Until you came into my life ,girl, I saw every-one that way!
Chorus
EmD/F#C/GF/A
Until I found the one I needed at my side,
EmBEmFB
I think I would've been a sad man all my life---

ACDFCAC
I used to walk alone, every step would seem the same,
ACDFCAC
This world was not my home, so there was nothing much to gain,
ACDFCAC
Look up, and see the clouds, look down and see the cold floor,
ACDFCACC
Until you came into my life, girl, I saw nothing, nothing more!
