Verse:
G+G         B minorBm
Everybody needs an anchor
                 D MajorD
A augmentedA little something that makes you stay
             Dsus2Dsus2
An incentive, Someone to fight for
                 G+G
Cause no one really needs so much space
             B minorBm
A augmentedA couple years ago I was lonely
                  D MajorD
I used to think that there was no God
                     Dsus2Dsus2
But then you looked at me with your blue eyes
                G+G
And my agnosticism turned into dust

Pre-Chorus:
       D MajorD
How well you know me
             A augmentedA
That I don’t care if the rest don’t
           E minorEm
It doesn’t matter to me, no
G+G        D MajorD
As long as you love me
      E minorEm         G+G
As long as we still have each other


Chorus:
D MajorD   E minorEm   G+G
I knew we had something
     A augmentedA
From the moment I met you
D MajorD   E minorEm   G+G
I knew we had something
    A augmentedA
No one thought it could be true
D MajorD   E minorEm   G+G
Hey do you believe
    A augmentedA
Do you believe in destiny?
D MajorD      E minorEm     G+G
‘Cause I do as I did then
       A augmentedA
When you were only 23

Verse:
G+G             B minorBm
God knows that I’m a good dancer
                 D MajorD
My feet can move to the music he plays
                   Dsus2Dsus2
But there were times I asked for an answer
                 G+G
When he was acting in mysterious ways
                  B minorBm
There were nights that I stayed up crying
                     D MajorD
Cause I was certain that things wouldn't change
                 Dsus2Dsus2
But then you came and I saw you smiling
                  G+G
Just like an angel, so beautifully strange


Pre-Chorus:
       D MajorD
And then you touched me
              A augmentedA
It's like you were made for me, oh
             E minorEm
Like it was all meant to be, oh
      G+G          D MajorD
And I was sure that you would love me
       E minorEm        G+G
And that we'd always have each other


Chorus:
D MajorD   E minorEm     G+G
I knew we had something
     A augmentedA
From the moment I met you

    A augmentedA
No one thought it could be true
D MajorD    E minorEm   G+G
Hey do you believe
      A augmentedA
Do you believe in destiny?

When you were only 23

Always thought that I was fine but I was wrong
    D MajorD       D/C#     B minorBm
It was you, that one piece I was missing
  E minorEm                  A augmentedA
And I could do without you but it'd be no fun
     D MajorD         D/C#  B minorBm

When you were only 23
