When I Met You

[STANZA 1]

There I was
    D#m               A#
an empty piece of a shell,
     D#m             Dm
Just mindin' my own world;
              Gm
Without even knowin'
     Cm                F F
what love and life were all about.

Then you came,
    D#m                    A#
You brought me out of the shell;
    D#m                Dm
You gave the world to me
             Gm
And before I knew,
        Cm       F       F Em
There I was so in love with you.

Yes, I've gone beyond existing

And it   all be--gan
           A#
when I met you.

I love the touch of your hair

away with the aching part of me.
