You Were There

Intro: C-Dm7-F/A-F#/Bb~G/B-C-C9,C-Am-G7


C Am
I guess you've heard
G7 C
I guess you know
Am
In time I might have told you
G7 C
But I guess I'm too slow
Am
It's overly romantic
G7 C
But I know that it's real
Am
I hope you don't mind
G7 C
If I say what I feel

F G,Gsus4,G
It's like I'm in somebody else's dream
F G,Gsus4,G
This could not be happening to me

C Dm7
But you were there
F/A F#/Bb~G/B C C9,C
And you were everything I'd never seen
Am G7 Dm7 Em7
You woke me up from this long and endless sleep
F6
I was alone
Gsus4 G C-C9,C-Am-G7
I opened my eyes and you were there.


C Am G7 C
Don't be alarmed, no don't be concerned.
Am
I don't want to change things
G7 C
Leave them just as they were.
Am
I mean nothing's really different
G7 C
It's me who feel strange.
Am
I'm always lost for words when
G7
Someone mentions your name.
F G,Gsus4,G
I know that I'll get over this for sure
F G,Gsus4,G
I'm not the type who dreams there could be more.


C Dm7
But you were there

And you were everything I'd never seen
Am G7 Dm7 Em7
You woke me up from this long and endless sleep
F6
I was alone
Gsus4 G F
I opened my eyes and you were there.


F G C Csus4,C
Can I take your smile home with me,
F G Fm7-Gm7-C-C9,C-Am-G7 hold
or the magic in your hair?

C Am G7 C
The rain has stopped, the storm has passed
Am G7 C
Look at all the colors now the sun's here at last.
Am G7 C
I suppose that you'll be leaving but I want you to know
Am G7
Part of you stays with me even after you go.
F G,Gsus4,G
Like an actor playing someone else's scene
F G,Gsus4,G
This could not be happening to me.

C Dm7
But you were there
F/A F#/Bb~G/B C C9,C
And you were everything I'd never seen
Am G7 Dm7 Em7
You woke me up from this long and endless sleep

I was alone
Gsus4 G Dm7
I opened my eyes and I'm,
Em7 F6
I'm not alone, no, I'm not alone.
Gsus4 G C-C9,C-F6/A-Gsus4,G,C-C9,C
I opened my eyes and you were there.
