When I Met You

[STANZA 1]
 
        AM7
There I was 
    Dm               AM7
an empty piece of a shell,
     Dm             C#m7
Just mindin' my own world;
              F#m
Without even knowin' 
     Bm7                E7sus E7
what love and life were all about.

E/F# E   AM7
Then you came,
    Dm                    AM7
You brought me out of the shell;
    Dm                C#m7
You gave the world to me
             F#m
And before I knew,
        Bm7       E7sus       E7 D#m7b5
There I was so in love with you.

  Dm                     AM7
I love the touch of your hair

And when I look in your eyes
       F#m              Bm7   E7sus     E7
I just know, I know I'm on to something good

 Bm7                  E7sus E7   D#m7b5
away with the aching part of me.
