Verse 1

A       C     D     F  C     A  C  D F C
 I used to trust nobody, trusting even less their words,
A      C      D      F   C    A  C  D F C
 Until I found somebody, there was no one I pre-fered ,
A        C      D    F   C  A  C  D F C
 My heart was made of stone, I saw only misty grey,
A       C      D        F  C    A C D F C
 Until you came into my life ,girl, I saw every-one that way!


Chorus

Em     D/F#       C/G     F/A
  Until I found the one I needed at my side,
Em      B       Em       F  B
  I think I would've been a sad man all my life---

D      F      G      D        G
 I think I see the light----, coming to me, coming through me,
  D         A  D D   A D D    A   C   G  D
Giving me a second sight.         So shine, shine, shine---!
 A   C   G  D    A   C   G   D
Shine, shine, shine---!  Shine, shine, shine---!

A      C     D    F     C     A C  D F C
 I used to walk alone, every step would seem the same,
A         C     D        F   C    A C D F C
 This world was not my home, so there was nothing much to gain,
A        C       D        F    C   A C D F C
 Look up, and see the clouds, look down and see the cold floor,
A      C      D          F    C   A C D F C
 Until you came into my life, girl, I saw nothing, nothing more!
