...THEN I MET YOU... by The Proclaimers
--------------------...................
from 'Sunshine On Leith' (1988)
CAPO 3rd FRET
(Original Key: Eb)
Intro:
C D F (x4)
Verse 1:
[C] Thought that I'd be happy,
[D] Going to be so happy,
[F] Living life alone,
And never sharing anything.
[C] Thought that I was finished,
[D] Thought that I was complete,
[F] Thought that I was whole,
Instead of being half of something.
[C] Thought that I was growing,
[D] Growing older, wiser,
[F] Understanding why this world,
Held nothing for my spirit.
[C] Thought that I was destined,
[D] Destined to be nothing,
[F] Destined to be nothing,
In this world and then I met you.
Chorus 1:
[C] I... [D]met you, [F]I... [C]met you.
Verse 2:
[C] Thought that God had failed me,
[D] Thought my prayers were useless,
[F] Thought that he would never,
Give the chance for me to praise him.
[C] Thought the book was written,
[D] Thought the game had ended,
[F] Thought the song was sung,
And I could never sing another.
[C] Thought my faith was misplaced,
[D] Thought my back was broken,
[F] Broken by a weight,
That I was never fit to carry.
[C] Thought I knew this city,
[D] Thought I knew all about it;
[F] And then one night,
I went to morningside,
And you were waiting.
Chorus 2:
[C] I... [D]met you, [F]I... [C]met you.
[C] I... [D]met you, [F]I... [C]met you.
(Repeat to Fade)
