And if I nev er (Em)held

you,

(G)I would nev er have a clue

(Am)how, at last, I’d (Cm)find in (Cm6)you

the miss ing (Bm)part of (C)me.

In this world so (Cmaj7)full of (D9)fear,

full of rage and (Cmaj7)lies,

(Bm7)I can see the truth so clear

(C)in your eyes,

so (D)dry your eyes.

And I’m so grate ful (Em)to you.

but (Cm9)still my heart is (Dm7)say ing we were (Eb)right.

Oh.

(Am)There’s no mo ment (C)I re gret nev
