Verse 1:
Am                                F
I can still remember when I would hate myself not fitting in
        C                          G
I would try my best to be somebody else
Am                          F
Thought I wasn’t good enough I would treat myself like shit for giving up
C                                  G
Thought that I was someone hard to love


Pre-Chorus:
            Am
Then it was you who came along
        F
like an eye within a storm
     C                                G
Said above the clouds skies are still blue
                 Am                       F
Right there when I thought I was lost and Forgot just who I was
C               G
I saw myself in you

Chorus:
                        F
Baby now Im my own best friend
                  C
Love me the way I am
                G
No baby I’m not lonely
                    Am
I’m just getting to know me
               F
Now I can just observe
                C
High on down to earth
             G
Nowhere I’ve arrived
          Am
Here I am alive


Verse 2:
Am                              F
In your eyes I find a wonderful world Beyond my mind
          C                                        G
A magical place where all these words don’t mean a thing
Am
Now I know there’s nothing wrong with me
F
All my tears bring out the best of me
C                             G
I can cry my heart out in the rain


Pre-Chorus:
           Am
Cuz it was you Who came along
        F
like an eye within a storm
     C                                G
Said above the clouds skies are still blue
                 Am                       F
Right there when I thought I was lost and Forgot just who I was
C               G
I found myself in you
