(F#m7)I

(B7)did n’t (Em7)know what time it was, (F#m7)then

I met (G9)you.

(F#)Oh,

(F#m7)I

(B7)did n’t (Em7)know what day it was, (F#m7)you

held my (G9)hand.

(F#)Warm

(Bsus)like the (A7)month of May it was (D)and I’ll say it was (D7)grand.

(G)Grand

to be a (Am)live, to be (B7)young, to be (Am)mad, to be (B7)yours a (G7)lone!

(C)Grand

to see your (G)face, feel your touch, hear your (Em7)voice say I’m (A7)all your (D7)own!

(F#m7)I

(B7)did n’t (Em7)know what year it was.

(F#m7)Life

was no (G9)prize.

(F#)I

(Bsus)want ed (Em7)love and here it was (D)shin ing out of your (F7)eyes.

I’m (Bm7)wise

and I (Am7)know what (D7sus)time it is (G)now!

(F#m7)I

(B7)did n’t (Em7)know what time it was, (F#m7)then

I met (G9)you.

(F#)Oh,
