E B F# B
β« Verse 1:
B F#
I got up with a full and happy heart
Another sunny day
E B
I couldn't wait to start
I combed my hair
B7
Walked down the stairs
E
To wait for the phone to ring
B F# B
Just before the moment that I lost everything
β« Instrumental:
E B F# B
β« Verse 2:
B F#
You didn't call so I thought I'd go to you
Thought I'd surprise you with some flowers
E B
That I tied all up in blue
B
I skipped and hopped
For seven blocks
E
And with every skip I'd sing
B F# B
Just before the moment that I lost everything
β« Bridge:
F# B
I couldn't wait to see your face when I arrived
E B F#
For your sweet love's the only reason I'm alive
B
And I swear I sit inside my head
E
I know I'd rather die
B F# B
Than to be without that woman in my life
β« Verse 3:
E
I walked up your stairs
B
And knocked at your front door
B7
And I heard the creek of footsteps
A E
Walking on the floor
You didn't come to answer it
A
So I gave the bell a ring
E B E
Just before the moment that I lost everything
β« Instrumental:
A E B E
β« Verse 4:
E
Still no answer
B
So I crept up to the window
B7
I looked in and there I saw
A E
A man I didn't know
E
And by his side
You laid there smiling
A
As he held you tenderly
A E B E
And that's the very moment that I lost everything
A E B A E
Yes, and that's the very moment that I lost everything
