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)

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. =)
