[Verse]
C        G/B        Am7
Mornings spent with you

        C/G       F
Are the best part of my day

C        G/B           Am7
When you walk into the room

            C/G    F
You take my breath away

G
I don’t know what comes over me

C
Don’t guess I really care

       F
But my heart breaks into a beaming smile

       G
When I see you standing there
[Chorus]
F
I had a life before you

C
But it all seems empty now

F
  When I feel your hand in mine

C                             G/B
The world is right somehow

Am
I’ve been in love

G                  F
I really thought I knew

            C
But that is all just

G
Life before you

[Verse]
C           G/B          Am7
My old days were my lonely days

F
Lots of humble pie

C           G/B  Am7
I could not make connections

F
Hope just stumbled by

G
But over the horizon

C
I knew the sky was blue

F
I kept falling, I kept rising

           G
‘Til I got finally got to you
[Chorus]
F
I had a life before you

C
But it all seems empty now

F
  When I feel your hand in mine

C                             G/B

I’ve been in love

[Verse]
C           G/B
Here we are together

       Am7                F
On the brink of something new

C       G/B     Am7
I don’t want to let you go

         F
But it’s what I have to do

G
can't help the tears

       C
As you walk away from me

      F
And I promise I’ll be waiting

         G
When the bus comes back at three
[Outro]
F
I had a life before you

C
But it all seems empty now

F
  When I feel your hand in mine

C                             G/B
The world is right somehow

Am
I’ve been in love

G                  F
I really thought I knew

            C
But that is all just

G           C
Life before you

         F
That was all just

G
Life before you
