Verse 1:
C majorC          E minorEm
Everybody needs an anchor
             D MajorD     G+G
A augmentedA little something that makes you stay
             D MajorD
An incentive, someone to fight for
D MajorD   D MajorD   D MajorD   D MajorD   D MajorD     C majorC
Cause no one really needs so much space

C majorC             E minorEm
A augmentedA couple years ago I was lonely
           D MajorD      G+G
I used to think that there was no God
                  D MajorD
But then you looked at me with your blue eyes
D MajorD   D MajorD   D MajorD   D MajorD   D MajorD   C majorC
And my agnosticism turned into dust


Pre-Chorus:
C majorC       G+G
How well you know me
            D MajorD    Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
That I don??t care if the rest don??t
          E minorEm
It doesn??t matter to me, no ohh
     C majorC        G+G
Oh-oh-oh as long as you love me
      Am*        C*
As long as we still have each other


Chorus:
G+G  A minorAm     C majorC
I knew we had something
     D MajorD

G+G   A minorAm      C majorC
And I knew we had something
    D MajorD
No one thought it could be true
G+G  A minorAm    C majorC
Hey do you believe
     D MajorD       G+G
Do you believe in destiny?
    A minorAm      C*
Cause I do as I did then

When you were only 23

Pararapa-pararapa pararapa-pararapa pararapa-pararapa
Am*
Ahh- ahh

My feet can move to the music he plays
                  D MajorD
But there were times I asked for an answer
D MajorD                C majorC
When he was acting in mysterious ways

C majorC                  E minorEm
There were nights that I stayed up crying
             D MajorD        G+G
Cause I was certain that things wouldn't change
                D MajorD
But then you came and I saw you smiling
D MajorD                  C majorC
Just like an angel, so beautifully strange

C majorC       G+G
And then you touched me
              D MajorD    Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
It's like you were made for me, oh-oh
             E minorEm
Like it was all meant to be, oh-oh
     C majorC          G+G
And I was sure that you would love me
        Am*       C*
And that we'd always have each other


Chorus:

Am*
 Oh, oh

    G+G             C majorC
It was you, that one piece I was missing
  A minorAm                   D MajorD
And I could do without you but, it'd be no fun
     G+G            C majorC
