Lyrics

One word,

that’s all you (A)said.

But (Bm)some thin’ in your voice caused me to (G)turn

my head.

Your smile

just cap tured (A)me.

And (Bm)you were in my fu ture,

far as (G)I could see.

And I (A)don’t know how it hap pened,

but it (D)hap pened still.

You ask me if I love you,

if I (G)al ways

will.

(A)Well,

(D)you

had me from hel lo.

I felt love start to grow

the (Bm7)mo ment that I looked in to your eyes, you owned me.

(D)It

was o ver from the start.

You com plete ly stole my heart

and (Bm7)now you won’t let go.

I (Em7)nev er e ven had a chance, you know.

You had me from hel lo.

(G)In side

I built a wall

so (Bm)high a round my heart

I (A)thought I’d (G)nev er fall.

One touch,

you

brought it (A)down,

the (Bm)bricks of my de fens es scat tered on the ground.

And I (A)swore to me I was n’t gon na love a gain.

The (Bm)last time was the last time

I (G)let some one in.

(A)But

me from hel lo.

That’s all you (A)said,

(Bm)Some thin’ in your voice caused me to turn my head.

You had me from hel lo.

You had me from hel lo.

Girl, I’ve (A7)love you from hel (D)lo.
