Lyrics
I’ve heard it (G)said
that peo ple (D)come in to our lives for a (G)rea son,
bring ing (D)some thing we must learn, And we are (G)led
to those who (F#m7)help us most to grow, if we (Bm7)let them,
and we (A)help them in re turn.
Well, I don’t (Gsus2)know if I be (Gm(maj7))lieve that’s (Bm)true,
But I (Bb)know I’m who I am to day be (Gm7)cause I knew (C7sus)you…
Like a (Gsus2)com et pulled from or bit as it (D)pass es a (D)sun,
like a (D)stream that meets a boul der (Csus2)half way through the (A)wood,
who can say if I’ve been (Bm)changed for the bet ter?
But be cause I (D)knew you,
(Em7)I have been (A5)changed
for (D)good.
It (D)well may (G)be
that we will (D)nev er meet a gain in this (G)life time,
so let me (D)say be fore we part; So much of (G)me
is made of (F#m7)what I learned from you, you’ll be with me
like a (A)hand print on my heart.
And now what (Gsus2)ev er way our (Bm)stor ies end,
I (Bb)know you have re writ ten mine by (C7sus)be ing my friend…
Like a (Gsus2)ship blown from its moor ing by a (D)wind off the (D)sea,
like a (D)seed dropped by a sky bird (A)in a dis tant wood,
who can say if I’ve been (F#m7)changed for the (Bm)bet ter?
But be cause (D)I knew you…
Be cause I (D)knew you… (A)I have been changed for (Gm7)good…
And just to (C)clear the (F)air, I ask for (Gm7)give ness for the things I’ve done you (C)blame me (F)for.
But then, I guess we know there’s (Dsus)blame (D)to (G)share,
and (Gm7)none of it seems to mat ter an y (Gm7)more…
Like a (Gsus2)com et pulled from or bit as it (D)pass es a (D)sun,
like a (D)stream that meets a boul der (A)half way through the wood,
Who can say
if I’ve been (F#m7)changed for the (Bm)bet ter?
I do be lieve I have been (A)changed for the (Bm)bet ter… And
be cause I (D)knew you…
Be cause I (D)knew you…
Be cause I (D)knew you… (Em7)I have been (A)changed
for (D)good.
