A               G
I've heard it said
             D                          G
That people come into our lives for a reason
            D                A    
Bringing something we must learn
            G
And we are led to those 
     D
who help us most to grow
      C
If we let them
        G            A
And we help them in return
G              D          A             D
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
      Am                  C
But I know I'm who I am today
G               A
Because I knew you...
        G                 D
Like a comet pulled from orbit
       C        A
As it passes a sun
         G                  D
Like a stream that meets a boulder
   C                 A
Halfway through the wood
G             D            C               Em
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
     G          D
But because I knew you  
G              A         D
I have been changed for good
            G
It well may be
              D
That we will never meet again
            G
In this lifetime
          D              A
So let me say before we part
           G
So much of me is made
    D
of what I learned from you
           C
You'll be with me
         D              A
Like a handprint on my heart
G          D               A      D
And now whatever way our stories end
    Am                      C
I know you have re-written mine
    G          A
By being my friend...
        G                     D
Like a ship blown from its mooring 
      C            A
By a wind off the sea
        G                   D 
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
C             A
In a distant wood
G        D                 C                Em
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
      G        D
But because I knew you
 G         D
Because I knew you
G             A          D
I have been changed for good
Em            C
And just to clear the air
           Em
I ask forgiveness
                              C         
For the things I've done you blame me for
A                                     
But then, I guess we know
          C
There's blame to share
    Am                           C
And none of it seems to matter anymore
        G                  D
Like a comet pulled from orbit
       C        A
As it passes a sun

         G                  D
Like a stream that meets a boulder
 C                   A
Halfway through the wood
G        D             
Who can say if I've been 
   A              D
Changed for the better?
G       D                  
I do believe I have been
 A              G
Changed for the better
     G         D
And because I knew you...
G          D
Because I knew you...
G          D
Because I knew you...
G              A         D
I have been changed for good...
