Intro E  F#m A A x 2

E                          F#m
Thought that I'd be happy, gonna be so happy
A                     A
Livin' life alone and never sharing anythin'

Thought that I was finished, thought that I was complete
Thought that I was whole instead of bein' half of something
Thought that I was growin', growin older wiser
Understandin' why this world held nothin' for my spirit
Thought that I was destined, destined to be nothin'
Destined to be nothin' in this world and then I met ye

E       F#m      A      E
I       met you,  I     met you,  
E       F#m      A      E
I       met you,  I     met you 

Thought that god had failed me, thought my prayers were useless
Thought that he would never give the chance for me to praise him
Thought the book was written, thought the game it ended
Thought the song was sung and I could never sing another
Thought the faith was misplaced, thought the back was broken
Broken by a weight that I was never fit to carry
I Thought I new this city, thought I knew all about it
But then one night I went to Mornin'side and you were waitin' 

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

Thought that I'd be happy, gonna be so happy
Livin' life alone and never sharing anything
Thought that I was finished, thought that I was complete
Thought that I was whole instead of bein' half of somethin'
Thought that I was growin', growin' older wiser
Understandin' why this world held nothin' for my spirit
Thought that I was destined, destined to be nothin'
Destined to be nothin' in this world and then I met ye

I met you, I met you ............to fade
