C               C/B           Am           A7  
For once in my life I've got someone who needs me, 
 Dm           Dm7M      Dm7  -  G7  
Someone I've needed so long; 
Dm          Dm7M        Dm7             G7 
For once unafraid I can go where life leads me, 
C         Dm7   G7        C     C/B 
Somehow I know I'll be strong. 
     Am         Am7M          Am7            D     
For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of 
F    C?        A7  Dm7 
Long before  I  knew 
  Em    Em7M     A7sus4   A7  
Someone warm like  you 
       Dm7     C?  F?  G    G+ 
Could make my dreams come true.

For once I can say: "This is mine you can't take it."
