  Bb            C             Dm
I knew from the first night I met you

Bb             C            Dm
Something just wasn't quite right

Bb             C        Dm
Looked like an innocent stranger

    Gm                        A
But something was just out of sight

Bb          C                   Dm
How could I know that you would use me

Bb            C            Dm
Fill out some plan of your own

Bb         C          Dm
I couldn't know you'd abuse me

    Gm                     A
And leave me here hurt and alone
CHORUS:
      Gm         A          Dm
If it wasn't for you I'd be happy

      Edim       A             Dm
If it wasn't for lies you'd be true

  Bb                  C       Dm
I know that you could be just like you should

      Bb/F       Gm           Dm
If it wasn't for bad you'd be good
VERSE: I only saw what I wanted to see You were a dream in my mind I didn't know how you really could be It didn't take long for me to find I guess that it's my fault for seeing Only what I wanted to see I couldn't know you would be A player just acting for me CHORUS:
      Bb         C          Dm    
If it wasn't for you I'd be happy
