 Thought that I'd be happy,

 Going to be so happy,

 Living life alone,
And never sharing anything.

C
 Thought that I was finished,
D
 Thought that I was complete,
F
 Thought that I was whole,
Instead of being half of something.

 Growing older, wiser,

 Understanding why this world,
Held nothing for my spirit.

 Destined to be nothing,

 Destined to be nothing,
In this world and then I met you.

 Thought that God had failed me,

Give the chance for me to praise him.

C
 Thought the book was written,
D
 Thought the game had ended,
F

And I could never sing another.

C
 Thought my faith was misplaced,
D
 Thought my back was broken,
F
 Broken by a weight,
That I was never fit to carry.

 Thought I knew this city,
D
 Thought I knew all about it;
F
 And then one night,
I went to morningside,
And you were waiting.

 I... met you, I... met you.
