(F)No one ev er made me feel like (Bb)some one

al ways tim id, nev er took a (D7)chance,

(Cdim7)then I felt his mag ic (G7)and my heart be gan to (C7)dance!

(F)I was al ways fright ened, fraught with (Bb)wor ry (C7)’til him.

(F)I was go ing no where in a (C7)hur ry ’til (A)him.

(Bb)He filled up my (G)emp ty life,

(Am7)filled it to the (D7)brim.

(G7)There could nev er ev er be an (G)oth er one like (F)him.

(Eb)No one ev er ev er real ly (Ab)knew me
