Verse 1:
C
  It's turning out just another day
Am                      G
  I took a shower and I went on my way
   F
I stopped there as usual
Had a coffee and pie
When i turned to leave
             G
I couldn't believe my eyes
 F
Standing there i didn't 
    G
know what to say
    F
Without one touch
              G            (hold)
We stood there face to face


Chorus 1:
          C
And i was dying 
           G
indside to hold you
  Am
I couldn't believe 
       Em
what i felt for you
F
Dying inside i was dying inside
But i couldn't bring 
          G
myself to touch you


Verse 2:
C
  You said hello 
then you asked my name
Am
  I didn't know if i 
       G
should go all the way
  F
Inside i felt my life 
have really changed
I knew that it would 
     G
never be the same
 F
Standing there i didn't 
    G
know what to say
F
First time looked away 
       G                  (hold)
when i whispered your name


(Repeat Chorus 1 twice)


Bridge:
F           G          Am
  One hello changed my life
F
  I didn't believe in 
G             Am
love at first sight
F
  But you've shown me
G         Am
  what is life
F
  And I now i know my love 
G                     F#  
(i know it's coming right)
