C            G
  I was lost   and you were found
Am                        G
   You seemed to stand on   solid ground
C            G
  I was weak   and you were strong
Am               G
   And me and my guitar we strummed along, oh

I was blind but oh, how you could see
You saw the beauty in everything, everything and me
I would cry and you would smile
You'd stay with me a little while

Sweet misery
