(G)If I nev er (Em)knew you,
(G)if I nev er (Em)felt this love,
(C)I would have no (Am7)ink ling of

you, (G)I would nev er (Em7)have a (E7)clue
(Am)how, at last I’d (Cm6)find in you
the miss ing (Bm)part of (C)me.
In this world so (Cmaj7)full of (D7)fear,
full of rage and (Cmaj7)lies,
(Bm7)I can (B7)see the (Em)truth so clear
(C)in your eyes, so (D)dry your (C)eyes.
And I’m so grate ful (Em)to you.

(Bb)I’d have lived my (Bb)whole life (Eb)through,
(Cm7)lost for (Bb)ev er (Eb)if I nev ver knew (F)I thought our (Eb)love would be so (F)beau ti ful.
(Dm7)Some how we’d make the whole world bright.
(Gm)I nev er knew that fear and (Ebmaj7)hate could be so (Bb)strong, all they’d (Gm)leave us were these (Dm7)whis pers in the (Eb)night,
but (Cm9)still my heart is (Dm7)say ing we were (Eb)right.
(G7sus)Oh.
(C)If I nev er (Am)knew you,
(C)if I nev er (Am)knew this love,

(G)I thought our (F)love would be so beau ti ful,
(Em7)some how we’d make the whole world bright.
(G)I thought our (F)love would be so beau ti ful,
(Em7)we’d turn the dark ness in to (G)light.
And (Dm7)still my heart is (Em7)say ing we were (F)right.
We were right.
