G5     355xxx
G(b5)  345xxx (no 3)

  G
You knew just everything

      A
But nothing at all

         C
Now the luminous dark

            G
Feels like pain again

G
You could feel my breath

      A
You opened my eyes

      C
For I could not see

       G
When I met you

        A
When I met you (Your feelings again)

    C
I could not speak (You're drowning in pain)

    D
You opened my mouth (You're walking in mist)

    A
You opened my heart (You're living again)

    A
My spirit rose (She tore you down)

    C
The marks and stains (It was all the same)

       D
Could not exist (You were afraid)

       A
When I met you

         A
Now it's all the same (Now it's all the same)

     C
It's all the same (It's all the same)

      D
The sun is gone (The sun is gone)

      A
It's all the same (It's all the same)

      A
But when I met you (But when I met you)

     C
When I met you (When I met you)

     D
When I met you (When I met you)

     A
When I met you (When I met you)

      G
When I met you

      G(b5)
You were afraid (When I met you)

      Gsus4
She stole your heart (When I met you)

      G(b5)
You don't understand (When I met you)

      G
You should be ashamed (When I met you)

      G(b5)
You should have known (I was the walking dead)

      Gsus4
She tore you down (I was kicked in the head)

      G(b5)
She tore you down

 G
The edge had become

      A
The centre of my world

      C
The seams of my life

      G
The streams of debris

   G
Neither wounds of a friend

       A
Nor the kiss of a foe

      C
The peck of a blackened eye

     G
An eye for the crowd

   A
When I met you

   C
I could not speak

   D
I met you

   A
Then I met you

   A
My spirit rose (Your feelings again)

    C
My kind of truth (You're drowning in pain)

    D
Could not exist (You are afraid)

    A
When I met you

    A
Now it's all the same (Now it's all the same)

    C
It's all the same (It's all the same)

    D
The sun is gone (The sun is gone)

    A
It's all the same (It's all the same)

    A
But when I met you (But when I met you)

    C
When I met you (When I met you)

    D
When I met you (When I met you)

    A
When I met you (When I met you)

     G
When I met you (You were afraid)

     G(b5)
When I met you (She stole your heart)

      Gsus4
I was the walking dead (She tore you down)

      G(b5)
I was kicked in the head (She tore you down)

      G
It was such a time (When I met you)

      G(b5)
It was such a time (When I met you)

      Gsus4
I was crushed inside (When I met you)

      G(b5)
I was torn inside

    A
When I met you (When I met you)

    C
When I met you (When I met you)

   D
I was too insane (I was too insane)

    A
Could not trust a thing (Could not trust a thing)

     A
I was off my head (I was off my head)

    C
I was filled with truth (I was filled with truth)

     D
It was not God's truth (It was not God's truth)

    A
Before I met you (Before I met you)
