Intro: A9 A9/G#,A9/F# C#m7 A7 DM7 A9/C# CM7/6 E7sus
    Woah... oh...

Verse 1:
      A9
  I was alone not long ago
  A9/G#   A9/F#
  Without a love to call my own
  A9/E   DM9
  I was afraid and thought
   A9/C#       Bm7 E7sus
  It wasn't meant for me
         A9
  I didn't need anybody else
  A9/G#     A9/F#
  That was what I would tell myself
  A9/E   DM9        A9/C#     Bm7 pause
  And I believed that that was how it would be

        C#7sus     C#7(/F)
  I used to think that I was fine
      A9/F#
  Oh, that I was doing ok
       Bm7
  I didn't know that I was blind
        E7sus    E7
  I just went on along my way
       C#7sus     C#7(/F)
  I didn't know what I was missing
          A9/F#
  'Til I felt you tender lips
           Bm7
  Kissing my fears away
      E7sus pause
  I'm so glad you're here today


Chorus:
   A9                A9/G#
  I never had somebody I could lean on
   A9/F#            C#m7
  I never had a shoulder I could cry on
  A7      DM7   A9/C#
  Till I found you, babe
        CM7/6 E7sus
  Till I found you
     A9                  A9/G#
  And I never had somebody I would think about
   A9/F#            C#m7
  I never had someone I couldn't do without
  A7      DM7   A9/C#
  Till I found you, babe
        CM7/6 E7sus
  Till I found you


Verse 2:
        A9       A9/G#
  I had been badly hurt before
        A9/F#
  Ever since then, I would ignore
  A9/E  DM9
  Any chance for love
    A9/C#      Bm7 E7sus
  I thought it was a lie
          A9
  I learned to rely upon myself
  A9/G#       A9/F#
  And I thought that I was doin' well
  A9/E    DM9
  Until you came with something
  A9/C#      Bm7
  I just can't deny

        C#7sus     C#7(/F)
  I used to think that I was fine
      A9/F#
  Oh, that I was doing alright
       Bm7
  I would go on and do my thing
     E7sus     E7
  Everyday and every night
       C#7sus     C#7(/F)
  I didn't know what I was missin'
           A9/F#
  'Til I felt your tender love
          Bm7
  Fillin' me up inside
   E7sus
  I love you with all my might


(Repeat Chorus)

Adlib: Verse chords, until the 2nd Bm7; E7sus  (2x)

(Repeat Chorus)


Coda:
     F(M7b5)             G(6)
  And I never knew how good a love could feel
         A9    A9/G# A9/F#
  Till I found you babe, woah  oh
     FM7               G E(7sus) pause
  And I never thought a love could be so real
       A9
  Till I found you


*****Illustrated CHORDS (EADGBe)*****
x = dead (muted) string   0 = open string

A9:  x02200        E7sus: 020230 or 022230
A9/G#: 4x2200        DM9:  xx0220
A9/F#: 2x2200        FM7b5: 133200
A7:  x02020        G6:   3x0430
DM7:  xx0222 or x57675   C#7sus: x46474
A9/C#: x4x455        C#7:  x46464
CM7/6: x3x455


Notes:
>> I believe the A9 at the coda is done as x07600.
>> A9/G# can be another optional chord.
>> Middle string mutes can be done by the finger pressing the bass string (that's
how I do it).
>> A9/C# is a unique but cool sounding chord here. The regular C#m7 can be substituted for
it if you find it hard to do! CM7 bar chord (x35453) can be substituted for the also
unique CM7/6.
>> And if you manage to use A9/C# and CM7/6, you'll find that they are just easy shifts
since they differ in only 1 string with just 1 fret. You won't need to rearrange the rest
of your fingers. =)
