And when I knew I had to face  
E/G# 
another 
 
day,
 
G 
 
Lord, it made me feel so  
D 
tired.
 
A/C# 
 
Bm7 
 
Before the day I  
C#m7 
met you,  
Bm7 
 
life was so un

kind.

it.

A 
 
I didn’t know just what was wrong  
E/G# 
with 
 
me,
 
G 
till your kiss helped me

A/C# 
 
Bm7 
Now I’m no longer  
C#m7 
doubtful,
 
Bm7 
of what I’m livin’

for.
 
And

if I make you happy
