Lyrics

(Bb)Love had played its games on me so (Bbmaj7)long,

I start ed (Bb7)to be lieve I’d nev er find (Eb)an y one.

Doubt had (Ab13)tried to con vince me to give (Bb)in,

said, “You can’t (Cm)win.”

But one (Bb)day the sun came a shin ing (Bbmaj7)through.

The (Bb7)rain had stopped

and the skies were (Eb)blue.

And, oh, what a rev e (Bb)la tion

(F#dim)to (Gm7)see

some (Cm)one was say ing, “I love you” to (Eb)me.

A (Bb)one

in a (Bbmaj7)mil lion

(Bb7)chance

of a (Eb)life time,

and (Ab13)life

showed com (Bb)pas sion

and (Cm)sent to (Bb)me a (Eb)stroke of (Eb)love called (Bb)you,

a one in a mil lion (Eb)you.

I was a (Bb)lone ly man with emp ty arms to (Bbmaj7)fill;

then I (Bb7)found a piece of hap pi ness to (Eb)call my own.

Now (Ab13)life is worth liv ing a (Bb)gain,

for to (Cm)love you, to me, is to (Eb)live.

A

A (Bb)one

in a (Bbmaj7)mil lion

(Bb7)chance

of a (Eb)life time,

and (Ab13)life

showed com (Bb)pas sion

and (Cm)sent to (Bb)me a (Eb)stroke of (Eb)love called (Bb)you,

a one in a mil lion (Eb)you,

a one in a mil lion (Bb)you.
