[Verse 1]
           E                            A             E
Well, she didn't look as pretty as some others I have known,

                                     A             B
And she wasn't good at conversation when we were alone.

         A            B           E              C#m
But she had a way of making me believe that I belonged.

         A               B          E
And it felt like coming home when I found her.
[Verse 2]
            E                                 A                E
'Cause she seemed to be so proud of me, just walking, holding hands,

                                        A            B
And she didn't think that money was the measure of a man.

        A                       B    E              B
And we seemed to fit together when I held her in my arms.

        A               B          C
And it left me feeling warm when I loved her.
[Chorus]
E7          A                B            E          C#m 
Cause she brightened up the day like the early morning sun

         A               B               E
And she made what I was doing seem worthwhile.

E7        A                B            E               C#m
It's the closest thing to living that I guess I've ever known.

        A               B             E
And it made me want to smile when I loved her.
[Verse 3]
        E                                A               E
I know some of us were born to cast our fortunes to the wind,

                                        E               B
And I guess I'm bound to travel down a road that never ends.

       A               B              E           C#m
But I know I'll never look upon the likes of her again.

          A           B             E
And I'll never understand why I lost her.
[Chorus]
E7          A               B            E            C#m
Cause she brightened up the day like the early morning sun

         A               B              E
And she made what I was doing seem worthwhile.

E7        A                B            E               C#m
It's the closest thing to living that I guess I've ever known.

        A               B            E
And it made me want to smile when I loved her.
