**Capo 5th fret** 
 
Intro: D  Bm  Em  A  
 
G             A 
Once upon a lonely time 
         Bm 
I could barely make it though the night 
G                     A 
It always seemed the sky was falling 
Bm 
Down on me 
G                 A 
But life's funny you don't own it 
Bm 
Things can change in a single moment 
E7                      G 
That's what happened to me 
 
Refr?o -------------
D 
Every time a promise fell through 
Bm 
Every time my heart broke in two 
    Em                             A 
And it was always too dark to see the horizon 
        D 
When I thought I had it right in my hand 
Bm 
It would slip right through like sand 
Em                    E 
I didn't know why but now I see 
      G              D   Em  A   D 
That life had other pl--ans for me

Verse 2: 

I was doing my best, giving my all 

Kept hittin' my head up against the wall 

Missin' the mark when I thought my 

Aim was true 

I didn't know just what it meant 

But now I see that it was heaven sent 

'Cause that's when I met you 
 
CHORUS 
 
(repeat intro) 
Bm                      G 
When I was at my worst and couldn't see the light 
E7                      G 
Somehow I knew it would be alright, cause
