Verse 1

A             C          D          F    C          A   C   D  F C
  I used to trust nobody, trusting even less their words,
A            C           D           F      C       A   C   D  F C
  Until I found somebody,  there was no one I pre-fered ,
A               C            D        F     C    A   C   D  F C
  My heart was made of stone,  I saw only misty grey,
A             C            D                F    C        A  C  D F C
  Until you came into my life ,girl, I saw every-one that way!


Chorus

Em          D/F#             C/G         F/A
   Until I found the one I needed at my side,   
Em            B              Em              F   B
   I think I would've been a sad man all my life---

D            F            G            D               G
  I think I see the light----, coming to me, coming through me, 
   D                 A   D D     A  D D        A      C      G   D
Giving me a second sight.                 So shine, shine, shine---!
  A      C     G    D       A      C     G     D
Shine, shine, shine---!   Shine, shine, shine---!

A            C         D        F          C         A  C   D  F C 
  I used to walk alone,  every step would seem the same,
A                 C          D                F      C       A  C  D  F C
  This world was not my home, so there was nothing much to gain,
A               C             D               F       C      A  C  D  F C
  Look up, and see the clouds, look down and see the cold floor,
A            C            D                   F        C     A  C  D  F C
  Until you came into my life, girl, I saw nothing, nothing more!
