Lyrics

I’ve (D)heard it (G)said

that peo ple (D)come in to our lives for a (G)rea son,

bring ing (D)some thing (G)we must (A)learn, and (D)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 (D)com et pulled from (Gsus2)or bit as it (D)pass es a (D)sun, like a (D)stream that meets a (D)boul der (Csus2)half way (G)through the (A)wood,

who can (Em7)say if I’ve been (F#m7)changed for the (Bm)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 (G)fore we (A)part: So (D)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 (Gm(maj7))stor ies (Bm)end,

I (Bb)know you have re writ ten mine by (Gm7)be ing my (C7sus)friend...

Like a (D)ship blown from its (Gsus2)moor ing by a (D)wind off the (D)sea, like a (D)seed dropped by a (D)sky bird (Csus2)in a (G)dis tant (A)wood,

who can (Em7)say if I’ve been (F#m7)changed for the (Bm)bet ter?

But be cause I (D)knew you...

Be cause I (D)knew you...

(Em7)I have been (G)changed (A)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 (Fmaj7)none of it seems to (Gm7)mat ter an y (Gm7)more...

Like a (D)com et pulled from (Gsus2)or bit as it (D)pass es a (D)sun, like a (D)stream that meets a (D)boul der (Csus2)half way (G)through the (A)wood,

who can (Em7)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 (D)changed

for (D5)good.
